    About this ebook

    Even though they're identical, Tristan isn't close to his twin Robbie at all—until Robbie tries to kill himself. Forced to share a room to prevent Robbie from hurting himself, the brothers begin to feel the weight of each other's lives on the ice, and off. Tristan starts seeing his twin not as a hockey star whose shadow Tristan can't escape, but a struggling gay teen terrified about coming out in the professional sports world. Robbie's future in the NHL is plagued by anxiety and the mounting pressure from their dad, coach, and scouts, while Tristan desperately fights to create his own future, not as a hockey player but a musical theatre performer. As their season progresses and friends turn out to be enemies, Robbie finds solace in an online stranger known only as "Jimmy2416." Between keeping Robbie's secret and saving him from taking his life, Tristan is given the final call: sacrifice his dream for a brother he barely knows, or pursue his own path. How far is Robbie willing to go—and more importantly, how far is Tristan willing to go to help him?

    Editor's Note

    Acceptance in athletics…

    This may be a book about jocks with NHL prospects, but it’s really about and for nerds who like fanfic and Broadway musicals (ESPECIALLY those who like musicals). An important work about LGBTQ+ acceptance in athletics.

      Jerkbait is one of them books that grab at your heart strings. This book tackles so many taboo topics. This book follows twins, Tristan and Robbie, as they deal with school, sports and theater while trying to find their place in society.
