Book overview

Bold, nostalgic, and unapologetically queer, Pride High is a coming-of-age romance series for adults who remember the thrill-and the heartbreak-of falling in love for the first time.

 

Rewind to the '90s. Six teenagers. One unforgettable school year. Meet your new friends:

 

Anthony Cullen: Being in the closet is hard enough. I'm also in love with my straight best friend. Do you think he'll ever notice me?

 

Omar Jafari: I'm flunking most of my classes, but hey, a pretty girl talked to me today. So maybe I should stop secretly hooking up with a dude.

 

Silvia Diaz: Listen, my parents are undocumented. I don't have time to worry about boys. Or girls. Or which I like more.

 

Cameron Huxley: My home life might suck, but when I meet my dream guy, we're going to show the world what true love looks like!

 

Mindy Beaumont: People think I'm a perfect little princess, but I feel invisible. I've never even kissed a boy!

 

Ricky Nishikawa: I'm starting freshman year in a new town. As if that wasn't bad enough, I keep getting picked on by a bully. And he's really, really hot.

 

The ultimate high school experience awaits you in this full-length novel filled with passion and self-discovery. Enroll in Pride High today!
