This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story
~Lambda Literary Award finalist for the best LGBT YA novel of 2018~
A fresh, charming rom-com perfect for fans of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Boy Meets Boy about Nathan Bird, who has sworn off happy endings but is sorely tested when his former best friend, Ollie, moves back to town.
Nathan Bird doesn’t believe in happy endings. Although he’s the ultimate film buff and an aspiring screenwriter, Nate’s seen the demise of too many relationships to believe that happy endings exist in real life.
Playing it safe to avoid a broken heart has been his MO ever since his father died and left his mom to unravel—but this strategy is not without fault. His best-friend-turned-girlfriend-turned-best-friend-again, Florence, is set on making sure Nate finds someone else. And in a twist that is rom-com-worthy, someone does come along: Oliver James Hernández, his childhood best friend.
After a painful mix-up when they were little, Nate finally has the chance to tell Ollie the truth about his feelings. But can Nate find the courage to pursue his own happily ever after?
- Childhood Best Friends: It’s been years since Nate has seen Ollie, and a painful mix-up is the last thing he remembers about their friendship. Can they find their way back to each other?
- Deaf Representation: A heartfelt and authentic portrayal of a main character who is deaf, as Nate and Ollie learn to communicate again after years apart.
- A Story for Film Buffs: Nate lives his life through movie references, but he’s about to find out real-life romance is messier and more wonderful than any screenplay.
- Coming of Age: Convinced that happy endings are just for the movies after his father’s death, Nate must find the courage to write his own next chapter, even if it means risking a broken heart.
