Book overview
Lovable goofball Oliver Hammond just started his first year of college, rooming with his best friend, Theo Briggs. His major? Undeclared. His love life? Also undeclared. In fact, Oliver has been doing some research and might be on the asexual spectrum, but who even knows? Maybe he'll finally figure everything out here at school.
Jude Cohen is an ambitious sophomore whose life seems practically perfect. They have great friends, a stunning girlfriend, and a plan to land their dream job by age thirty. Their parents even financially support Jude through school. The only downside is that their family refuses to accept Jude's queer identity. Surely Jude can tolerate the deadnaming and misgendering to keep the cash coming for five more years, right?
When Oliver and Jude keep running into each other on campus, they discover they have far more in common than they ever imagined. Not romantically, though-Jude likes girls, and Oliver... well, he doesn't really like anyone, at least not like that. Instead, they become inseparable best friends, closer than they ever thought possible.
So when the holidays come around, Jude gets a brilliant idea: bring home Oliver as their fake boyfriend. Oliver is happy to help, Jude's close-minded parents are pleased, and no one has to get hurt. What could go wrong?
From one of the quirky queers who brought you Theoretically Straight and Theoretically Perfect comes an endearing spin-off exploring love, friendship, identity, and self-worth.
