Evan Mercer is emotionally objective. Or at least, that's what he tells himself. Because being emotionally objective means you don't spiral when your best friend looks at you a little too long. It means you don't make pros and cons lists about why holding his hand during graduation was strictly platonic. It means you definitely don't start an anonymous blog to rationalize the growing suspicion that maybe-hypothetically-you're in love with him. That would be ridiculous. Between college applications, scholarship essays, guidance counselor interrogations, and a prom invitation that felt suspiciously sincere, Evan's final year of high school was already stressful enough. Now he's stuck trying to figure out the difference between friendship and something that might ruin it forever-while his best friend Noah keeps noticing things Evan would very much prefer remained unnoticed. Like the way he freezes when someone asks him a direct personal question. Or how he's suddenly terrified of what happens after graduation. Or the fact that Evan hasn't said the one thing that might change everything. Things That Definitely Do Not Mean I'm In Love With My Best Friend is a sarcastic, heartfelt romantic comedy about growing up, telling the truth, and learning that sometimes the scariest decision you'll ever make... is staying.
