Always the AlmostA trans pianist makes a New Year's resolution on a frozen Wisconsin night to win regionals and win back his ex, but a new boy complicates things in Edward Underhill's heartfelt debut YA rom dram, Always the Almost.

A trans pianist makes a New Year's resolution on a frozen Wisconsin night to win regionals and win back his ex, but a new boy complicates things in Edward Underhill's heartfelt debut YA rom-dram, Always the Almost.

Sixteen-year-old trans boy Miles Jacobson has two New Year’s resolutions: 1) win back his ex-boyfriend (and star of the football team) Shane McIntyre, and 2) finally beat his slimy arch-nemesis at the Midwest’s biggest classical piano competition. But that’s not going to be so easy. For one thing, Shane broke up with Miles two weeks after Miles came out as trans, and now Shane’s stubbornly ignoring him, even when they literally bump into each other. Plus, Miles’ new, slightly terrifying piano teacher keeps telling him that he’s playing like he “doesn’t know who he is”―whatever that means.

Then Miles meets the new boy in town, Eric Mendez, a proudly queer cartoonist from Seattle who asks his pronouns, cares about art as much as he does―and makes his stomach flutter. Not what he needs to be focusing on right now. But after Eric and Miles pretend to date so they can score an invite to a couples-only Valentine’s party, the ruse turns real with a kiss, which is also definitely not in the plan. If only Miles could figure out why Eric likes him so much. After all, it's not like he’s cool or confident or comfortable in his own skin. He’s not even good enough at piano to get his fellow competitors to respect him, especially now, as Miles. Nothing’s ever been as easy for him as for other people―other boys. He’s only ever been almost enough.

So why, when he’s with Eric, does it feel like the only person he’s ever really not been enough for...is himself?

Hydrating sunscreen
This is a great sunscreen for dry sensitive skin, even combination skin specifically if you’re using acne products that can dry out your skin. My dermatologist recommended this to me due to my rosacea and dry flaky skin. It helped me maintain my skin moisturize during the day, also adds a healthy glow to the skin. It has a liquid consistency which I love cause it makes it so much easier to blend and absorbs faster into the skin. I wouldn’t recommend so much for oily skin though, it can make you look greasy really quick!!

Delicious flavors and reliable sun protection
Scent: Coconut, Banana, Watermelon, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These Sun Bum SPF 30 lip balms are perfect for anyone looking to protect their lips from the sun while keeping them smooth and moisturized. I appreciate that each tube in this variety pack provides broad spectrum SPF 30 protection with soothing aloe and vitamin E, which nourish my lips instead of just sitting on the surface. The coconut, banana, and watermelon flavors are deliciously tropical without being overly sweet, and the balm glides on easily without leaving a heavy or greasy feel. I also love that the formula is reef-friendly and free from harsh chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate, so I can use it confidently at the beach or on the slopes. Overall, this set has become my go-to for daily lip care and sun protection, and I would gladly reorder it or give it as a thoughtful gift to friends and family.

Scent: Coconut, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been using this lip balm for a while now, and I'm very happy with it. It keeps my lips moisturized without feeling greasy or sticky. The coconut scent is pleasant and not overpowering, and the SPF 30 protection is a great bonus when spending time outdoors. The balm goes on smoothly, lasts a long time, and helps prevent my lips from drying out in the sun. I also like that it contains aloe vera and vitamin E. Overall, it's a great lip balm, and I would definitely purchase it again.
