The Grown Ups

A sequel to My Best Rival.

What happens after you walk off into the sunset?

Ocean and Ru have finally said goodbye to Averesch and taken their first steps into the adult world-hand in hand. School uniforms, dorms, detentions, and cafeterias are things of the past. Before them lies a world of choice and endless possibilities, which they are ready to face together.

Only, the first few steps come with a few stumbles. Ocean's transition hits an impasse, leaving her feeling lost and alone despite sharing a small flat with her boyfriend. Her new friend Nilson (and his ethereal girlfriend, Tilda) might be just what she needs-even if they pull her further away from her previous life than she intended.

Meanwhile, Ru struggles to let go of the ghosts of his past. Keeping in touch with friends he used to see every day is both a joy and struggle, especially with everything else adulthood demands! On top of that, Yan has suddenly decided he wants them to have a proper father-son relationship, which Ru attributes to Yan's new girlfriend.

Will Ru and Ocean's young love be enough to keep them together? Or is growing up something that needs to be done by yourself?
