The state of us
(Book)

When Dean Arnault's mother decided to run for president as the Republican nominee, Dean doesn't want to be part of the public spectacle that is the race for the White House. Then he meets Dre Rosario-- the son of the Democratic nominee. As their meet-ups on the campaign trail become less left to chance, their friendship quickly becomes a romantic connection unlike any either of the boys have ever known. If it wasn't hard enough falling in love across the aisle, the political scheming of a shady third-party candidate could cause Dean and Dre's world to explode around them. -- adapted from jacket
