I Wish You All the Best

:IT'S JUST THREE WORDS

.I AM NONBINARY

.BUT THAT'S ALL IT TAKES TO CHANGE EVERYTHING

When Ben De Backer comes out to their

parents, they're thrown out of their house and

forced to move in with their estranged older

sister, Hannah, and her husband, Thomas, 

whom Ben has never even met. Struggling

with an anxiety disroder compounded by

their parents' rejection, they come out only to

Hannah, Thomas, and their therapist, and try

.to keep a low profile in a new school 

But Ben's attempts to survive the last half

of senior year unnoticed are thwarted when

,Nathan Allan, a funny and charismatic student

.decides to take Ben under his wing 

,As Ben and Nathan's friendship grows

their feelings begin to change, and what started as

a disastrous turn of events looks like it might

 .just be a chance to start a happier, new life

At turns heartbreaking and joyous, I Wish

,You All the Best is both a celebration of life

friendship, and love and a shining example of

.hope in the face of adversity
