All stability in sixteen-year-old Ridge McCoy’s life crashed
and burned in the plane crash that killed his dad. This summer-long basketball
camp is his chance to improve his skills and escape his problems back home. But
his summer plans take a turn in an unexpected direction when he meets Micah
Youngblood, the guy who runs the carousel at the local mall and has a
reputation for devouring straight boys’ heterosexuality for breakfast,
alongside his chocolate chip pancakes.
Ridge needs a way to avoid the guys at camp, whose only
quest for the summer is to drown in beer and hook up with girls. So when Micah
offers to explain how the ten unique horses on the carousel are significant to
his tribe, Ridge takes him up on it. Still, Ridge can't decide if this is a bad
thing or not. All he knows is that he hasn’t felt this alive since his dad fell
from the sky, and as the horse adventures come to an end, Ridge finds himself
falling as well – for Micah.

One cold
night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens—both named Will
Grayson—are about to cross paths. As their worlds collide and intertwine, the
Will Graysons find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, building

Boy Meets Boy

This is the
story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders
ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now
prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the
gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance.
When Paul
meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows
it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back,
but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend
Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with
ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away
anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really
fit together right.
This is a
happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing
what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world.
