I Wish You All The Best / Mason Deaver.
After coming out as nonbinary, Ben must leave home and goes to live with a sister and her husband to finish the last year of high school.
"It's just three words: I am nonbinary. But that's all it takes to change everything. When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents, they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister, Hannah, and her husband, Thomas, whom Ben has never even met. Struggling with an anxiety disorder compounded by their parents' rejection, they come out only to Hannah, Thomas, and their therapist and try to keep a low profile in a new school. But Ben's attempts to survive the last half of senior year unnoticed are thwarted when Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student, decides to take Ben under his wing. As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows, their feelings for each other begin to change, and what started as a disastrous turn of events looks like it might just be a chance to start a happier new life. At turns heartbreaking and joyous, I Wish You All the Best is both a celebration of life, friendship, and love and a shining example of hope in the face of adversity."-- Book jacket.

Excerpt
I Wish You All the Best
"I . . ." I can do this. Just keep breathing. There's that tightness in my stomach, like something is just twisting and twisting and it wonâe(tm)t let go until the moment is over. And everything will unravel, and I'll feel free. "I wanted to tell you two something." Dad looks at me now. This is it. It's kinda funny actually; the script I wrote for myself, the one I typed in Word so I'd cover everything I wanted to, it's just totally gone from my memory now. Like someone zapped it all away. Maybe that's for the best; maybe this is how I'll be the most honest with them. If it just comes from me and not some rehearsed version of myself, maybe that will help; maybe that'll be better? I tell them. Slowly. At first, relief floods over me. I think I can actually feel myself relax. I just wish that feeling could've lasted longer.
