Description

Wicked funny and hella gay, it's time for Taylor Parker to come out about a lot of things.

When Taylor is accepted as a finalist for a diverse writers' internship at Saturday Night Live, it turns her life upside down. And if Taylor wants a shot at winning, she'll have to come out about both of her secrets: she wants to be a comedian ... and she's a lesbian.

The only thing keeping Taylor from self-combusting is her pining for Salem's most bewitching actress — out and proud classmate, Charlotte Grey. So when Taylor finds herself sitting opposite Charlotte to discuss a school project, Taylor's simmering need to tell everyone exactly who she is and what she wants burns hotter than ever...

From Australian author Hayli Thomson comes a deeply relatable and hilarious queer rom-com about coming out as funny and gay.

PRAISE

- Tobias Madden

'A beautiful queer love story'
- Jamie Pacton

'Punchy, raw, and laugh-out-loud funny'
- Skye Quinlan

Hayli Thomson's debut is ideal for readers who are after something light-hearted and littered with one-liners, lesbian longing and deadpan delivery of funny misinformation'

About the Author

Hayli Thomson lives in Sydney, Australia, and writes novels about candid characters for anybody who ever watched Jo March leap a fence and longed to be her best friend. Bizarrely, during her teen years, Hayli was afflicted with a 'headache' every third Monday in September, when she was left with no option but to stay home from school and watch her favourite female comedians collect Emmys live on the other side of the world. The Comedienne's Guide to Pride is her debut YA novel. You can visit her online at www.haylithomson.com.
