Full Disclosure

In a world where acceptance isn't always easy to find, a teenager grappling with an HIV-positive status must learn to handle fear, openness, and profound self-acceptance as she experiences love and desire for the first time. Full Disclosure is both powerful and uplifting, capturing the attention of fans of Angie Thomas and Nicola Yoon. Simone Garcia-Hampton is determined to make a fresh start at her new school. She's building genuine friendships, establishing herself as the student director of Rent, and developing feelings for Miles, who consistently leaves her breathless with his presence. Her greatest fear is the revelation of her HIV-positive status, as past experiences turned harsh. While managing her health is straightforward, keeping this secret proves challenging. As her relationship with Miles deepens, moving from shy kisses to more intense moments, anxiety takes root within her. She realizes she must disclose her status to him, especially with intimacy on the horizon, but she's paralyzed by fear over his possible reaction. The discovery of an anonymous note in her locker heightens her anxiety: "I know you have HIV. You have until Thanksgiving to stop seeing Miles, or everyone will find out." While her immediate reaction is to conceal her secret at any cost, Simone starts to see that confronting societal biases and fears head-on may be her only path to empowerment.
