Synopsis

Paul is a sophomore at a high school where the cheerleaders ride Harleys and the homecoming queen, Infinite Darlene, used to be a boy named Daryl and now plays quarterback. The gay-straight alliance exists to teach the straight kids to dance.

Then Paul meets Noah and believes he has found the person his heart was made for. He promptly blows it. The school bookie puts the odds at 12-to-1 against Paul winning Noah back, but Paul decides to go after him openly and loudly.

Paul's friendships are shifting too. His best friend Joni may be drifting away, and his other best friend Tony may be facing trouble with his ultra-religious parents. Paul's ex-boyfriend Kyle shows no sign of leaving the picture.

The book is a romantic comedy with a warm, upbeat tone, set in a town where being gay is ordinary and the strangeness lies elsewhere. Paul has to find out whether a love that has fallen apart can be put back together, and whether he can do it with everything else around him unsettled.
