Prom plans, on someone else’s terms

Nolan Grant is a sixteen-year-old gay junior whose plans for the rest of the school year involve drawing narwhals, working at a greenhouse, and steering clear of school spirit. His adoptive older sister has a different vision, one that includes a prom ticket and a makeover of sorts. The setup places first romance and high-school social rituals alongside a sibling relationship shaped by adoption, with Nolan’s reluctance driving the central comic predicament. The book is presented as a contemporary young adult romantic comedy, with prom serving as the point where Nolan’s carefully avoided territory becomes difficult to ignore.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in contemporary romantic comedies.
  • Readers looking for young adult fiction featuring a gay teen protagonist.
  • Readers interested in sibling relationships and adoptive family themes.

Book overview

"If you're looking for a novel to fill the To All The Boys I've Loved Before-shaped hole in your heart, this is the book for you." --Camille Perri, author of When Katie Met Cassidy

How (Not) to Ask a Boy to Prom is a modern gender-bent young adult rom com from S. J. Goslee.

Nolan Grant is sixteen, gay, and very, very single.

He's never had a boyfriend, or even been kissed. It's not like Penn Valley is exactly brimming with prospects. Nolan plans to ride out the rest of his junior year drawing narwhals, working at the greenhouse, and avoiding anything that involves an ounce of school spirit.

Unfortunately for him, his adoptive big sister has other ideas. Ideas that involve too-tight pants, a baggie full of purple glitter, and worst of all: a Junior-Senior prom ticket.
