A modern-day gay Emma, with the spikey social critique of Austen plus
the lush over-the-top romance of Bridgerton.
Emmett Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home
and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of
existence and had lived nearly eighteen years in the world with very
little to distress or vex him.
Emmett knows he’s blessed. And because of that, he tries to give back:
from charity work to letting the often irritating Georgia sit at his
table at lunch, he knows it’s important to be nice. And recently, he’s
found a new way of giving back: matchmaking. He set up his best friend
Taylor with her new boyfriend and it’s gone perfectly. So when his
occasional friend-with-benefits Harrison starts saying he wants a
boyfriend (something Emmett definitely does NOT want to be), he decides
to try and find Harrison the perfect man at Highbury Academy.
Emmett’s childhood friend, Miles, thinks finding a boyfriend for a guy
you sleep with is a bad idea. But Miles is straight, and Emmett says
this is gay life – your friends, your lovers, your boyfriends – they
all come from the same very small pool. That’s why Emmett doesn’t date
– to keep things clean. He knows the human brain isn’t done developing
until twenty-five, so any relationship he enters into before then would
inevitably end in a breakup, in loss. And he’s seen what loss can do.
His mother died four years ago and his Dad hasn’t been the same since.
But the lines Emmett tries to draw are more porous than he thinks, and
as he tries to find Harrison the perfect match, he learns that gifted
as he may be, maybe he has no idea what he’s doing when it comes to
love.
Modern and very gay, with a charmingly conceited lead who is convinced
he knows it all, and the occasional reference to the classic movie
Clueless, Emmett brings you lush romance all while exploring the
complexities of queer culture—where your lovers and friends are
sometimes the same person, but the person you fall in love with might
be a total surprise.
Riverdale meets Love, Simon in this modern, fresh, YA debut about
an unapologetically queer teen working to uncover a blackmailer
threatening him back into the closet. Jack has a lot of sex--and
he's not ashamed of it. While he's sometimes ostracized, and gossip
constantly rages about his sex life, Jack always believes that it
could be worse. But then, the worse unexpectedly strikes: When Jack
starts writing a teen sex advice column for an online site, he
begins to receive creepy and threatening love letters that attempt
to force Jack to curb his sexuality and personality. Now it's up to
Jack and his best friends to uncover the stalker--before their love
becomes dangerous. Ground-breaking and page-turning, Jack of Hearts
(and other parts) celebrates the freedom to be oneself, especially
in the face of adversity.

'The gay summer camp romp of my dreams' - Cale Dietrich, author of The Love Interest
Sixteen-year-old Randy Kapplehoff loves spending the summer at Camp Outland, a camp for queer teens. It's where he met his best friends. It's where he takes to the stage in the big musical. And it's where he fell for Hudson Aaronson-Lim - who's only into straight-acting guys and barely knows not-at-all-straight-acting Randy even exists.
This year, though, it's going to be different. Randy has reinvented himself as 'Del' - buff, masculine and on the market. Even if it means giving up show tunes, nail polish and his unicorn bedsheets, he's determined to get Hudson to fall for him.
But as he and Hudson grow closer, Randy has to ask himself how much is he willing to change for love. And is it really love anyway, if Hudson doesn't know who he truly is?
Couldn't get enough of Love, Simon or The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue?
This is the (slightly NSFW) book for you!
---------------
'My first time getting it in the butt was kind of weird. I think it's going to be weird for everyone's first time, though.'
Meet Jack Rothman. He's seventeen and loves partying, makeup and boys - sometimes all at the same time.
His sex life makes him the hot topic for the high school gossip machine. But who cares? Like Jack always says, 'it could be worse'.
He doesn't actually expect that to come true.
But after Jack starts writing an online sex advice column, the mysterious love letters he's been getting take a turn for the creepy.
Jack's secret admirer knows everything: where he's hanging out, who he's sleeping with, who his mum is dating.
They claim they love Jack, but not his unashamedly queer lifestyle. They need him to curb his sexuality, or they'll force him.
As the pressure mounts, Jack must unmask his stalker before their obsession becomes genuinely dangerous...
