Kaleidoscope — Enrique Betancourt

Love can shake everything, blur everything, and change everything. Joaquín Montes was just discovering his sexuality when he fell in love with the boy next door, Manuel. What a cliché, right? However, not every love story ends in joy. When tragedy strikes, Joaquín must learn to accept who he is, let go of his youth love and begin to live again after dying inside. When all is said and done, he falls in love again… but the ghosts of the past refuse to let him be. How can you share a moment with the love of your life when secretly you're wishing you were in another's arms?There are two sides of every coin, two tellers of every story. The second part of The EVERGLOW Series follows Joaquín's side of the story, and we will learn the chipper boy we knew was nothing but smoke and mirrors. The question remains the same: Does love pins us down or lifts us up?
