Overview
A darkly funny, Texas-flavored tale of teen angst in the vein of Booksmart, I Kissed Shara Wheeler, and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda-with the chaos dialed up to infinity. Wade Mader dreams of running away to California with his best friend and secret crush, Felix. Stuck in a stuffy Houston suburb with his cruel aunt, he and Felix pass the days pranking their neighbors for internet fame. When their school's controversial Peter Pan musical, Pansgender!, is banned and puts Wade's LA dream at risk, he hatches a scheme to fund a new venue: scam conspiracy theorists into believing a gay Sasquatch is terrorizing their town. The hoax spirals into full-blown social chaos that his aunt and her boyfriend gleefully exploit for their podcast. But the paranormal frenzy isn't Wade's only problem. Felix is falling for Roland, a homophobic classmate they targeted in a prank gone wrong. With his friendship fracturing and his schemes unraveling, Wade faces the one mess he can't prank his way through: telling his best friend the truth.

Reviews
Advance praise for Wade & Felix Forever from NetGalley reviewers: ""One of the funniest books I have read so far."" ""Felt like stepping into a complete fever dream in the best way."" ""Experience this story without expectations; you will be surprised at every chapter, every page - every line, even."" ""I haven't laughed this hard reading a book in a long time."" ""The most absurd and nonsensical book I've ever read, in the best way possible."" ""Just when you think you have this book figured out, it turns around and does something completely insane.""
Author Information
Dalton Lyle is a Texan who writes stories with high-octane absurdism, featuring hapless characters who acquire serious enlightenment in an unenlightened, unserious world. He's trekked across the Gobi desert on an excessively flatulent camel, tumbled dramatically down a hill at the Great Wall of China, been mugged by Tibetan macaques on a mountain, and seen his life flash before his eyes in Palermo traffic. Before focusing on writing professionally, he toiled in the North American gulag that is retail and the Kafkaesque hell that is teaching. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin and his master's from the University of Houston.
