Ethan/Avery
It's been three years since Matty ran away. With high school over, nothing stands in Ethan's way to track Matty down. With nothing but a hand-drawn map, and a postcard from Maine, Ethan's ready to embark on a journey cross-country to reunite with his best friend.
But a lot can happen during the course of a few weeks. Ethan's chance encounter with Avery, a young archeologist, leads to a journey of self-discovery, sexual awakening and love. An encounter that tips Ethan's entire life on its axis and threatens to derail his quest.
Matty/Austin
Sometimes you just need to get away before it's too late. Even if your best friend won't understand or forgive you. In Maine, Matty has finally found the family he was always looking for, healing past wounds with the help of his boyfriend, Austin. Both dealing with past neglect, Matty and Austin fight for a shared future and or their love.
But something is still missing. Ethan. Matty is not complete without his best friend.
Loud Places is the coming-of-age story of Ethan and Avery, and of Matty and Austin. It's a story of being lost. Of searching for freedom. And of finding your path and your place in the world. But above all, it is a story of friendship and love.
