Three students rethink who they are and what they want

Set across junior and senior years of high school, *Boyfriendish* brings Chris, Benji, and Jemma into one another’s orbit as each weighs identity against the expectations surrounding them. Their concerns range from fitting in and the limits of popularity to organizing a queer prom, applying to college, and navigating a breakup. The characters’ different circumstances give the story several points of entry into questions of self-understanding, belonging, and changing priorities. Each also has a secret that complicates the possibility of happiness, adding another thread to their intersecting coming-of-age stories.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in LGBTQ+ coming-of-age fiction
  • Readers drawn to stories about identity, friendship, and high-school social dynamics
  • Readers interested in queer prom, college applications, and relationship challenges as parts of a teen story

Book overview

How can you be true to yourself when you aren't even sure who you are?

 

Chris is a class clown and borderline outcast who doesn't see much to look forward to in his junior year of high school. Benji abandoned his old friend group to fit in with a rich-girls clique, but he's finding out that being rich and popular isn't the key to happiness, and neither is his situationship with a hot but fickle star athlete. Jemma is an honor roll student and promising artist whose senior year is packed with organizing the school's first queer prom, applying for college, and navigating a breakup with her girlfriend-and the pressure is getting to her.

 

When chance encounters bring them into each other's orbit, all three begin to question their identities and priorities-and see new possibilities. But each harbors secrets that threaten their chance at happiness.
