How Not to Ask a Boy to Prom

Product Description

“If you’re looking for a novel to fill the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before-shaped hole in your heart, this is the book for you.” ―Camille Perri, author of When Katie Met CassidyHow (Not) to Ask a Boy to Prom is a modern gender-bent young adult rom com from S. J. Goslee.
Nolan Grant is sixteen, gay, and very, very single.He’s never had a boyfriend, or even been kissed. It’s not like Penn Valley is exactly brimming with prospects. Nolan plans to ride out the rest of his junior year drawing narwhals, working at the greenhouse, and avoiding anything that involves an ounce of school spirit.
Unfortunately for him, his adoptive big sister has other ideas. Ideas that involve too-tight pants, a baggie full of purple glitter, and worst of all: a Junior-Senior prom ticket.
