Overview

A sweet contemporary romance about a boy who falls in love with his best friend and the girls who help them get together. Jamie Peterson has a problem: Even though he tries to keep his feelings to himself, everyone seems to know how he feels about Mason, and the girls in his art class are determined to help them get together. Telling the truth could ruin Jamie and Mason's friendship, but it could also mean a chance at happiness. Falling in love is easy, except when it's not, and Jamie must decide if coming clean to Mason is worth facing his worst fear. In Fan Art, Sarah Tregay, the author of the romantic Love and Leftovers, explores the joys and pains of friendship, of pressing boundaries, and how facing our fears can sometimes lead us to what we want most. Fan Art is perfect for fans of contemporary romances as well as novels like Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan and Openly Straight by Bill Konigsberg. This heartfelt and funny MM romance is about more than just a crush: First Love: Jamie is head over heels for his best friend, Mason. The only problem? Mason is completely clueless, and telling him the truth could ruin everything. Coming Out Story: A heartfelt and humorous journey of figuring out who you are, who you love, and mustering the courage to face your biggest fears. High School Romance: Complete with meddling friends, prom-posals, and high school drama, this story captures the dizzying feeling of being a teen in love.

Reviews

There is a common assumption that romantic stories aren't important. FAN ART proves unequivocally that this is wrong. A refreshingly honest, dizzyingly sweet story of first love.--Lili Wilkinson, award-winning author of PINK Tregay handles homophobia gently, which, along with the happy ending and refreshingly supportive community, makes this a breezy romance with just enough light drama to keep its feet on the ground.--Booklist The school's factions are refreshingly nuanced, not stereotyped; a lack of understanding does not equate with meanness. The fact that even with supportive adults, encouraging friends, and a gay-straight alliance, coming out can be a daunting prospect will make this story resonate with readers.--Publishers Weekly A sweet, quasi-coming-out love story with a bass line tailored for art and design fanatics.--Kirkus Reviews
