~Lambda Literary Honor finalist to discover the best LGBT YA book of 2018~

A brand new, charming rom-com ideal for fans of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Boy Fits Youngster about Nathan Bird, that has sworn off happy endings but is normally sorely examined when his former best friend, Ollie, moves back to town.

Nathan Parrot doesn’t have confidence in happy endings. Although he’s the best film buff and an aspiring screenwriter, Nate’s seen the demise of too many romantic relationships to believe that happy endings exist in true to life.

Playing it safe to avoid a broken heart has been his MO since his pops died and still left his mom to unravel-but this strategy isn’t without fault. His best-friend-turned-girlfriend-turned-best-friend-again, Florence, is defined on ensuring Nate finds another person. And in a twist that’s rom-com-worthy, someone will come along: Oliver Wayne Hernández, his childhood best friend.

After a painful mix-up when they were little, Nate finally has the chance to tell Ollie the reality about his feelings. But can Nate discover the courage to pursue his own happily ever after?
