Gay Club!

Barney is a shoo-in for his school's LGBTQ society president, mostly because no one else can be bothered. But fellow club member Bronte convinces the school to open up voting to the entire student body, out of respect for any queer students who aren't out; she figures it'll improve her chances at winning.

Cue all the campaign backstabbing, accusations, dirty secrets, and more that you would expect from a petty high school election. And of course, what happens? The school pulls a Boaty McBoatface and elects one of the least gay kids in the school, Danny Orlando, to be president.

Danny quickly finds himself out of his depth as the club starts jostling with other schools' clubs at a regional conference, and then a residential national weekend conference, competing to be picked as global ambassadors by an international outreach organization.

There are hilarious characters and hijinks galore, but at the heart of this novel is a budding romance.

Gay Club! by Simon James Green is a delightful blend of humour and heart, capturing the chaos and charm of high school life and the universal quest for acceptance.
