Book Description
From one of the brightest and most acclaimed new lights in YA fiction, a fantastic new novel about a bi Black boy finding first love . . . and facing the return of the mother who abandoned his preacher family when he was nine. There's always been a hole in Gio's life. Not because he's into both guys and girls. Not because his father has some drinking issues. Not because his friends are always bringing him their drama. No, the hole in Gio's life takes the shape of his birth mom, who left Gio, his brother, and his father when Gio was nine years old. For eight years, he never heard a word from her . . . and now, just as he's started to get his life together, she's back. It's hard for Gio to know what to do. Can he forgive her like she wants to be forgiven? Or should he tell her she lost her chance to be in his life? Complicating things further, Gio's started to hang out with David, a new guy on the basketball team. Are they friends? More than friends? At first, Gio's not sure . . . especially because he's not sure what he wants from anyone right now. There are no easy answers to love -- whether it's family love or friend love or romantic love. In Things We Couldn't Say, Jay Coles, acclaimed author of Tyler Johnson Was Here, shows us a guy trying to navigate love in all its ambiguity -- hoping at the other end he'll be able to figure out who is and who he should be.

Book Description
A record of an unbelievable succession of events that occurred (or not occurred as the case may be), and spiralled catastrophically out of control, the grand finale is the injustice to Gio. This book is my reaction to those events and the phrase “All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing”. The blatant injustice and disregard for his human rights/life motivated me to write this book and fight for justice for Gio. Writing down the events has strengthened my emotional resilience, but that is just a bi-product as the sole purpose of writing the book is to clear Gio's name. Gio is an innocent man who doesn’t deserve the treatment he is receiving which threatens his life.
