After being dumped so his boyfriend can pursue more "serious" guys,
a teen boy decides to prove he can be serious, too, by running for
senior class president in this "clever, fun, original" (BCCB) romp
from the author of The Sky Blues. High school junior Blaine Bowers
has it all-the perfect boyfriend, a pretty sweet gig as a muralist
for local Windy City businesses, a loving family, and awesome,
talented friends. And he is absolutely, 100% positive that
aforementioned perfect boyfriend-senior student council president
and Mr. Popular of Wicker West High School, Joey-is going to invite
Blaine to spend spring break with his family in beautiful, sunny
Cabo San Lucas. Except Joey breaks up with him instead. In public.
On their one-year anniversary. Because, according to Joey, Blaine
is too goofy, too flighty, too...unserious. And if Joey wants to go
far in life, he needs to start dating more serious guys. Guys like
Zach Chesterton. Determined to prove that Blaine can be what Joey
wants, Blaine decides to enter the running to become his successor
(and beat out Joey's new boyfriend, Zach) as senior student council
president. But is he willing to sacrifice everything he loves about
himself to do it?
Sky's small town turns absolutely claustrophobic when his secret
promposal plans get leaked to the entire school in this witty,
"earnest, heartfelt" (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling
author), and ultimately hopeful debut novel for fans of What If
It's Us? and To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Sky Baker may be
openly gay, but in his small, insular town, making sure he was
invisible has always been easier than being himself. Determined not
to let anything ruin his senior year, Sky decides to make a splash
at his high school's annual beach bum party by asking his crush,
Ali, to prom-and he has thirty days to do it. What better way to
start living loud and proud than by pulling off the gayest
promposal Rock Ledge, Michigan, has ever seen? Then, Sky's plans
are leaked by an anonymous hacker in a deeply homophobic e-blast
that quickly goes viral. He's fully prepared to drop out and skip
town altogether-until his classmates give him a reason to fight
back by turning his thirty-day promposal countdown into a
school-wide hunt to expose the e-blast perpetrator. But what
happens at the end of the thirty days? Will Sky get to keep his
hard-won visibility? Or will his small-town blues stop him from
being his true self?
From the author of The Sky Blues and Blaine for the Win comes a
speculative young adult romance about a teen stuck in a time loop
that’s endlessly monotonous until he meets the boy of his dreams.
For some reason, Clark has woken up and relived the same monotonous
Monday 309 times. Until Day 310 turns out to be…different.
Suddenly, his usual torturous math class is interrupted by an
anomaly—a boy he’s never seen before in all his previous
Mondays. When shy, reserved Clark decides to throw caution to the
wind and join effusive and effervescent Beau on a series of
“errands” across the Windy City, he never imagines that
anything will really change, because nothing has in such a long
time. And he definitely doesn’t expect to fall this hard or this
fast for someone in just one day. There’s just one problem: how
do you build a future with someone if you can never get to
tomorrow?
