According to the rule, Freddie has to
say "yes".
Freddie is unremarkable - too unremarkable. He doesn't
stand out in any way, and in fact teachers and fellow students
keep forgetting who he is. Even his mum thinks he's a disappointment,
and spends almost all her time at work, producing a TV show.



After a particularly awful night when he embarrasses himself in
front of Jasper Perry (the gorgeous teen star of Freddie's mum's
new show), Freddie decides to follow a new, proactive philosophy
designed to transform his social and romantic life: saying
'yes' to every opportunity.


It works! Freddie finds himself auditioning for the school musical
(Grease), actually going to parties, and flirting with
hot new boy Zach! He's becoming a whole new Freddie - maybe even
one that his mum might be proud of.


But the path to love is never smooth, and sometimes getting things
very wrong is an important part of figuring out what - and who
- you really want.


A funny, heart-pulling read from one of the UK's leading
writers of LGBTQ+ teen fiction.



Simon James Green is the award-winning author of Heartbreak
Boys, Alex in Wonderland, and the Noah Can't Even
books.

A perfect next read for fans of Heartstopper, Boyfriend
Material, Casey McQuiston, and Adam Silvera.
