Two British 16-year-old boys’ plan to incite jealousy in their exes goes awry in this hilarious rom-com from Green (Gay Club!). Drama king Jack and shy Nate had a falling-out in primary school. But after they learn that their ex-boyfriends Dylan and Tariq were cheating on them with each other, the two reconnect. When the duo see Instagram posts of their exes having what looks like a perfect summer romance, Jack, seeking vengeance, persuades Nate into a hair-brained scheme to make Dylan and Tariq jealous by embarking on their own Instagrammable summer vacation. While tagging along on a road trip across Britain with Nate’s parents and younger sister, the boys endure suspect campgrounds and get lost hiking. As their vacation progresses, Jack’s effervescent personality coaxes Nate out of his shell, and the teens slowly confront long-buried feelings regarding their past friendship. Green portrays the boys’ emotional turmoil surrounding their mutual heartbreak and individual insecurities with believable tenderness, making for a by turns raucous and earnest tale. Most characters read as white. Ages 13–up. (Dec.)

Can a road trip of petty vengeance help two gay British teens recover from a dream prom–turned-nightmare?

Jack—out, flamboyant, and a drama queen—knows that prom with his hot, popular boyfriend, Dylan, is going to be sublime. He and Dylan will surely be prom king and queen. Nate—closeted, shy, and totally in love with his out boyfriend, Tariq—is going to bite the bullet and come out tonight during his senior prefect speech. But everything goes wrong for these two White boys almost immediately when Jack notices Tariq and Dylan exchange a significant glance and he just…knows. The ensuing brouhaha leaves Nate heartbroken and furious, while Jack is humiliated and friendless. Yet somehow they end up together on Nate’s family’s road trip, with Jack prepared to Insta their way to revenge. He freely admits to Nate that social media is fabricated even while preparing to document a fabulous influencer journey of two gay 16-year-olds illustrated via selfie. A shy boy and an attention hog, already angry at each other, are a recipe for tension. But as Nate sulks and Jack avoids getting shot by the army, accidentally lights a hotel on fire, and meets a famous influencer, the truth about their long-broken best friendship slowly comes out. New friendships, supportive family, and old revelations balance out this compelling journey.

An unexpectedly funny, heartwarming voyage of discovery. (Fiction. 13-17)
