Togetha

Concrete Rose meets Things We Couldn’t Say in Togetha, the thrilling conclusion to Keith F. Miller, Jr.’s romantic young adult duology that follows Jay and Leroy as they fight to not only save their neighborhood from a gentrifying conspiracy but also their own chance at happiness.

After finally reuniting, Jay and Leroy have never been in more danger. Caught in the crosshairs of the powerful, affluent Bainbridge family, who they’ve learned is determined to reshape Savannah in their own image, the duo have only just survived a series of near-death experiences before reaching the safety of the Black Diamonds. But the BDs’ ability to protect the Black neighborhoods of their city is slipping...

With the key piece of evidence that could have broken the Bainbridges’ hold over Savannah missing, everyone is scrambling for options. But when one of their own is kidnapped, Jay and Leroy realize they can’t rely on anyone but themselves to save them.

Recruiting old friends, former enemies, and their most risky ally, Jay’s once-upon-a-time crush, Will, they set out to do the impossible: find the evidence they lost in order to finally expose the Bainbridges’ corruption to the world, by any means necessary.

But even as their plans bring them closer to revealing the Bainbridges’ treacherous endgame, Jay’s and Leroy’s own secrets from each other threaten to pull their love apart, just as old feelings between Jay and Will begin to blossom again.

And as the battle for a brighter future boils over into the streets, to save their homes—and everyone they love—Jay, Leroy, and Will must decide: When the cost of justice might be their happiness, will they be able to make the sacrifice togetha?
