When Nolan's sister tries to get him a boyfriend, he fake-dates a bad boy instead in this modern gender-bent young adult rom com.
Nolan Grant is sixteen, gay, and very, very single.
He's never had a boyfriend, or even been kissed. It's not like Penn Valley is brimming with prospects. Nolan plans to ride out the rest of his junior year drawing narwhals, working at the greenhouse, and avoiding anything that involves an ounce of school spirit.
Unfortunately for him, his adoptive big sister has other ideas. Ideas that involve too-tight pants, a bag full of purple glitter, and worst of all: a ticket to Prom.
Oh my, the amount of second hand embarrassment. Seriously, this book is filled with it. However, it is a lighthearted, fun-filled read. It did the fake dating trope in a way that I've not seen it before, and it really worked, no matter how much of a numbskull Nolan was at times.
However, because of the shortness I felt that there was not a huge amount of development. Fake dating should always have pining by the bucket load, and this was a bit more of a glass.
Overall, however, it was an enjoyable read, and it's nice to see the number of mildly embarrassing LGBTQ YA romcoms increase.
