Beschreibung
A smart, sexy YA novel about a boy band star, his first breakup, his first rebound, and what it means to be queer in the public eye, from award-winning author Adib Khorram

Hunter never expected to be a boy band star, but, well, here he is. He and his band Kiss & Tell are on their first major tour of North America, playing arenas all over the United States and Canada (and getting covered by the gossipy press all over North America as well). Hunter is the only gay member of the band, and he just had a very painful breakup with his first boyfriend-leaked sexts, public heartbreak, and all-and now everyone expects him to play the perfect queer role model for teens.

But Hunter isn't really sure what being the perfect queer kid even means. Does it mean dressing up in whatever The Label tells him to wear for photo shoots and pretending never to have sex? (Unfortunately, yes.) Does it mean finding community among the queer kids at the meet-and-greets after K&T's shows? (Fortunately, yes.) Does it include a new relationship with Kaivan, the star of the band opening for K&T on tour? (He hopes so.) But when The Label finds out about Hunter and Kaivan, it spells trouble-for their relationship, for the perfect gay boy Hunter plays for the cameras, and, most importantly, for Hunter himself.

Über den Autor
Adib Khorram lives in Kansas City, Missouri. When he isn't writing, you can probably find him trying to get his hundred-yard freestyle under a minute, learning to do a Lutz jump, or steeping a cup of oolong. His debut novel, Darius the Great Is Not Okay, earned several awards, including the William C. Morris Debut Award, the Asian/Pacific American Award for Young Adult Literature, and a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor. He is also the author of Darius the Great Deserves Better and the picture book Seven Special Somethings: A Nowruz Story.
Zusammenfassung
A new kind of story for an award-winning author: This is the perfect first non-Darius project for Adib Khorram. The boy band hook is so strong and commercial, and it still features Adib's signature thoughtful storytelling and exploring of big themes and big questions of identity.

What does it mean to be queer in the public eye?: Everyone else seems to get a bigger say in Hunter's queerness than Hunter himself. Adib's signature is exploring big queer identity moments outside of coming out, and this is a perfect addition.

Famous, but down to earth: Even though Hunter is in a boy band, he's very real and sounds like a teen, with the self-deprecating humor that Adib excels at. Readers will love seeing a star who's just like us.

First breakup, first rebound: The novel opens with Hunter's harrowing, public breakup with his first boyfriend, and then follows his new relationship-a sweet romance with the star of another boy band who becomes Hunter's reprieve from the pressures of fame.
