Book Hero thinking about your next read

Painfully geeky Noah Grimes thinks his best chance at social normalcy is to strike up a romance with Sophie. But his delusional plans are hopelessly derailed when his best (and only) friend Harry kisses him at a party. That's when things go from bad to utter chaos.

Poor Noah Grimes. His father disappeared years ago, his Beyoncé-impersonating mother is an embarrassment, and he's slowly losing his gran to dementia. He only has one friend, Harry, and Noah's geeky inclinations mean that together they're located firmly at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

Why can't Noah be normal, like everyone else at school? Maybe if he struck up a romantic relationship with someone—maybe Sophie, who is perfect and lovely—he'd be seen in a different light?

But Noah's plans are interrupted when Harry kisses him at a party. That's when things go from bad to utter chaos.

A madcap coming-of-age (and out!) story sure to have readers cringing and snorting with laughter to the very last page.
