From the author of The Long Run comes another unflinchingly raw and boldly hilarious novel about an unlikely group of teens coming together to exact revenge on the person who wronged them.
All's fair in love and revenge...
Phil Reyno is a "troublemaker." With a punk aesthetic and a quick temper, Phil knows that it's surprising to see him dating universally beloved Cameron Ellis, whose viral coming out video made him an internet darling.
Jackson Pasternak is a "good guy." Junior class president, star rower, and Ivy bound, Jackson is burnt out and misses the only person who ever truly knew him—his ex-best friend, Phil.
When Cameron dumps Phil and torpedoes his already-iffy reputation in the process, Phil hatches a plot to expose Cameron as the two-faced liar he truly is. And he finds the perfect weapon in his old pal Jackson, who agrees to infiltrate Cameron's circle and uncover dirt.
But as Phil and Jackson rediscover their friendship—and more—they start to wonder... Will knocking Cameron off his pedestal really solve their problems?

      Max Meyers and Lee Osorio are a dynamic duo in this YA tale of queer love, heartbreak, and revenge. High school student Phil Reyno is the class bad boy, while his former best friend and first love, Jackson Pasternack, is class president. When the attention-hungry Cameron Ellis outs Phil and breaks his heart, Phil and Jackson team up to bring him down. But re-forming the bonds they had before their explosive falling out proves more difficult than they imagined, even as they fall in love all over again. Then they discover that revenge isn't all it's cracked up to be. Meyers conveys Jackson's facade of perfectionism, while Osorio lets Phil's anger burst through. Both performances perfectly match this audiobook's tone: bold and unflinching. A.A.H. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
