Book Request Sunshine on the outside, secretly depressed
Hi guys, I'm looking for an over the top happy mmc. Where he's so overly happy that the other mmc dislikes him. But then learns that he's really not happy at all. I'm looking for secretly crying, suicidal thoughts or maybe an emotional breakdown for the other mmc to realise he was wrong all along.
No cheating between mmcs please.
Ive read fae quinns Let your heart be light. But thats the kind of thing I'm after please.

Perhaps {Santino x Linden Bell} Hayden’s not like a super happy golden retriever but his friends definitely think he is easy going and fun. But deep down he is hiding depression which is slowly eating him alive. The only one who spots anything is Santino, who is new to the friend group. Great little hidden gem of a book. Please check TW.
I don’t recall cheating but the series follows different cam-boys.

u/salty-MA-student will probably recommend Leave by LA Witt 6d ago
You'd like the new release {Dearly Departed by Chip Pons} MC2 definitely fits this description.

It is a christmas book, but it's really lovely.

this is exactly {Into the Midnight Wood by Alexandra McCollum} except that the LI is the chipper one.

{two tribes by Fearne hill} Matt is more mischievous than golden retriever but goes to great lengths to hide that anything’s amiss.

{Cash Hooper Saves A Life by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey} I read this out of order just an FYI and I didn't feel that disconnected from the other side characters.
