A final try at love—and a plan to change

In Eric Geron’s young adult novel, senior Leo Martino has come to see a string of unreturned crushes as evidence that he is unlovable. His interest in Lincoln Chan rekindles his hope, but Leo’s new approach is not simply to pursue a crush: he sets out to remake himself into what he thinks a perfect boyfriend should be. That choice puts self-image and the pressure to reshape oneself for romance at the heart of the premise, alongside its LGBTQ+ young adult focus.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in LGBTQ+ fiction about a gay protagonist.
  • Readers drawn to romance plots involving crushes, self-image, and the effort to change for a relationship.
