But when Kelly catches the eye of one of the local bad boys, Imran, he decides to seduce her for a bet – and Ilyas is faced with losing the only person who understands him.

From the bestselling and award-winning author of Felix Ever After
comes a heart-melting and joyful romance. Maybe it's too late to
tell them how I really feel. That I've had these feelings for
months, for years . . . Lark Winters wants to be a writer, and for
now that means posting anything and everything on their social
media accounts - just to build their platform. When former best
friend Kasim accidentally posts a thread on Lark's Twitter
declaring his love for a secret, unrequited crush, Lark's tweets
are suddenly the talk of the school. To protect Kasim, Lark decides
to take the fall, pretending they accidentally posted the thread in
reference to another classmate. It seems like a great idea: Lark
finally gets the courage to ask out their crush, Kasim keeps his
privacy and Lark's social media stats explode. But living a lie
takes a toll - as does the judgement of thousands of Internet
strangers. Lark tries their best to be perfect at all costs, but
nothing seems good enough for the anonymous hordes - or for Kasim,
who is growing closer to Lark, just like it used to be between them
. . . In the end, Lark must embrace their right to their messy
emotions and learn how to be in love. 'A hilarious and bold love
story for the ages.' Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You
All the Best 'Fresh and necessary.' The Horn Book Magazine

respectability politics, and polyamory via a queer, socially
