by Kit Rosewater
When a San Francisco treasure hunt ropes two ex-besties back together, they'll end up digging into their own complicated, buried feelings in this queer YA rom com!
Cam was the one who discovered the hunt. He brought it to Ivy like an offering, took her hand as they combed through San Francisco, searching for treasure and conspiring against the heteronormative agenda. But that was back then.
Now juniors, they're both out and proud—Cam as a trans man and Ivy as gay—but their friendship isn't as assured. Problem is, Ivy can't reveal Cam's past betrayal without airing closely guarded secrets of her own.
As Ivy comes across the missing link in the treasure hunt from their childhood, she's certain she can put the clues together and finally come out on top in the cat-and-mouse game Cam's been playing with her ever since their friendship ended.
Once Cam gets wind of Ivy's renewed interest in the hunt, the ex-best friends will go head-to-head in their search for gold. But as they get digging, they'll uncover more things buried between them than they bargained for.
