Fangirl meets Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in this funny and poignant coming-of-age novel from New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren about two boys who fall in love in a writing class—one from a progressive family and the other from a conservative religious community.

Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah.

But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity.

This book does not address the issue of sexual health in bisexuals, as well as methods of treating erectile dysfunction with drugs.

It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.

“A hopeful and moving love story.” -PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

“…Christina Lauren is able to depict the hope of young love and the uncertainty of falling in love within a community that is taught never to accept it.” –Teen Vogue

“Lauren is back with a passionate and bittersweet tale of love in all of its wonderfully terrifying reality…” -Booklist

“Christina Lauren paint the couple’s journey with heart-wrenching nuance—at times touchingly awkward, at times fierce and courageous. This book will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever fallen in love or felt they didn’t fit in.” – iBooks
