The Lonely Boy is a modern coming-of-age gay romance series that follows the journey of Ethan, a quiet teenager who is about to turn 18. While his friends are busy falling in love with girls, Ethan feels different. Deep inside, he knows he doesn't want a girlfriend-he wants something else, something he's too afraid to say out loud.
At first, Ethan believes he is broken, that something is wrong with him. But one late night, searching the internet, he realizes the truth: he is gay. This discovery does not solve his problems-it only raises new questions. How will his friends react? Can his family ever accept him? And most importantly, where will he find someone who feels the same way?
The series explores Ethan's loneliness, his dreams of love, and the courage it takes to accept who you are. Along the way, he will meet people who challenge him, comfort him, and maybe even love him. From stolen glances to first kisses, from heartbreak to hope, The Lonely Boy is both tender and passionate.
Told in simple and emotional language, this series is about self-discovery, friendship, and the powerful longing to be seen for who you truly are. It is a story that will connect with anyone who has ever felt different, anyone who has ever searched for love in a world that does not always understand.

Serendipity [BoyxBoy]
Ten different lives. Two boys. One night that'll bring them all together. Sixteen year old Nosa is okay with being a loner. He doesn't have social anxiety-- he's Catholic and his mum promised you can't love Jesus and have a disorder. He's just weird and he's not good at talking to people but that doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. It does mean that he and Irekan could never be friends. Irekan's parents moved them back to Nigeria to straighten him up-- literally. Being Nigerian and queer has never been easy but now he has to at least try to 'ungay' himself to keep his family together. And that means no falling in love with Nosa's stupid face. Two boys fall in love over novels, anime and rock music that's definitely going to get one of them killed. ❀Winner: 2022 Pride Awards Teen Fiction Category❀ ❀2nd Place Winner: 2022 Pride Awards❀ ❀Featured on the AmbassadorsNG reading list❀ ❀Featured on Stories Undiscovered August 2022 reading list❀ ❀Featured on AmbassadorsAF reading list❀ __Highest Rankings__ #1 wattpadnigeria (3/08/2022) #1 Africanbook (8/05/2022) #1 Africanlgbt (8/05/2022) #5 Blackboys (12/05/2022) #2 Nigerianbook (15/07/2022) #13 Young Adult Fiction (23/06/2024) **This is a bl and it features multiple queer characters.
