Max confesses he loves Art—just not in the same way. It shatters something inside him.It hurts, but Art tries to let go. He tries to move on.Until moving on leads to something no one could have predicted—a night that leaves a scar deeper than anyone can see…and alters the course of their lives forever.Love Is 3 (Arthur & Max) is a haunting and emotionally charged story about unspoken love, loss of innocence, and the devastating cost of vulnerability.
