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.
