Talk to Me is a college-age New Adult Romance with tons of emo...jis.
When Josh’s friend points out the newest student at Midway University during a lecture, he doesn’t give much thought to it. However, he soon finds out that the student in question, Theo Hendrix, is a disgraced influencer from the LGBTQIA social media site Peepers. A rumored bad decision led Theo to being ostracized from his old life, forced him to leave his previous university, nearly ruined his career, and turned most of his followers on Peepers against him.
Now at a new university, Theo is trying to rebuild his brand, escape the rumors and speculation about his past, and move on with his life. Hopefully, graduating university in peace is also in the cards. However, Josh notices that this will be easier said than done for Theo. Other students at Midway University—including Josh’s best friend—aren’t necessarily happy to have Theo as part of the student body. Even though logic tells Josh to steer clear of Theo, his conscious won’t let him stand by while another student is railroaded.
A new friendship emerges and Josh hopes to help Theo rebuild his confidence and bravery so that he can be the person he used to be. Theo hopes that with Josh’s help he can also figure out his new brand and how to continue his social media influencer career. However, the internet is a nefarious place, and more than one online bully will do anything possible to cause problems for Josh and Theo.
Will their new friendship help Theo and Josh become the people they want to be, or will they find out that internet bullying—and the inaction of “good people”—will be what destroys them?
