[[SEQUEL]] "Not Another High School Love Story" MUST be read first ▪️ *SYNOPSIS* After suffering a serious injury on the field and being forced to put his days of playing college football behind him, Brent Fox has his own story to tell. With the help of a familiar guidance counselor, a dimwitted best friend, and an increasingly distant boyfriend, Brent must learn to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of working part-time for family, the intimidating reality of life after graduation, and the forces that could very well keep him from getting that far--even if it means coming face to face with the biggest demons from his past. Falling from grace is never supposed to be easy, but with little more than a busted knee and failing grades, it seems the former golden boy can't escape the same, gnawing question: How the hell are you supposed to be happy when you lose everything you love? ▪️ *WARNING* ·Strong language ·Even gayer shit

Ugh *rolls eyes* not another high school love story... [Twist on clichés] A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY *RANK* ·#1 || Closeted--5/7/19 ·#1 || Gayboys--6/18/19 ·#1 || Guyxguy--7/15/19 ·#1 || Bxb--7/29/19 ·#1 || Boyxboy--7/29/19 ·#1 || Gaylove--7/29/19 ·#1 || Jock--7/30/19 ·#1 || Lgbt--8/3/19 ·#1 || Loser--8/3/19 ·#1 || Boyxboyromance--8/8/19 ·#1 || Malexmale--8/9/19 ·#1 || Comingout--4/9/20 ·#1 || Gayfiction--9/6/20 ·#1 || Freethelgbt--12/21/20 ·#1 || Gayromance--02/24/21 ·#1 || Taygetsthegay--10/09/21 ▪️ *SYNOPSIS* Jonah Pierson is just your average seventeen year old kid. He's smart, ruthlessly pragmatic, and he's got a kickass best friend to boot. His life isn't perfect, but with only one year left until graduation Jonah faces a very serious dilemma when he's volunteered to tutor the school's star quarterback. No amount of fast talking or quick thinking will save him from this cliché, and when he's already up against a distant father, an overbearing guidance counselor, and less than helpful peers, can he somehow learn how to get along with the arrogant but hot jock? Whatever he does, Jonah knows one thing for sure--he's in for one hell of a ride before high school's over. ▪️ *REVIEWS* "...a literary juggernaut masquerading as harmless teen fiction, drawing you in with promises of fluffy clichés only to eviscerate you and leave you emotionally scarred when you let your guard down. 10/10, by far one of the best books I've read on Wattpad. Would absolutely recommend." "I read this book all in one day and I have to say, this is one of the best books if not "the" best book I've ever read on Wattpad. It honestly is an amazingly crafted masterpiece. So relatable and everything but cliché." "I can confidently say that this book is a masterpiece !!! BRAVO just bravo 👏👏👏 No book has ever made me feel this emotional and invested in fictional characters that do not exist like this one does."
