Book Overview
Beckett Gaines, a gay teen living in South Carolina, has his world turned upside-down by a jock in this laugh-out-loud novel that's Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda meets The Parent Trap . Beck: The Golden Girls -loving, out-and-proud choir nerd growing up in the "ass-crack of the Bible belt." Jax: The Golden Boy, star quarterback with a slick veneer facing uncomfortable truths about himself and his past. When Beck's emotionally fragile dad starts dating the recently single (and supposedly lesbian) mom of former bully, Jaxon Parker, Beck is not having it. Jax isn't happy about the situation either, holding out hope that his moms will reunite and restore the only stable home he's ever known. Putting aside past differences, the boys plot to derail the budding romance between their parents at their conservative hometown's first-ever Rainbow Prom. Hearts will be broken, new romance will bloom, but nothing will go down the way Beck and Jax have planned. In his hilarious and provocative debut, Greg Howard examines the challenges of growing up different in a small southern town through the lens of colorful and unforgettable characters who stay with you long after the last drop of sweet tea.

A fantastic read!!!
Published by Arthur Morris , 27 days ago
The boys' relationships with their families—Beckett with his dad, and Jaxon with his two moms—were a highlight. The love, respect, and close bonds they shared felt genuinely sweet and endearing, and I appreciated how the author avoided tired YA family tropes.
Social Intercourse is a lighthearted yet richly layered story that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you wanting more of these wonderful characters. I'm hoping for future books featuring them!
I enjoyed it a lot!

This is a book that will make you laugh a lot! I’m in love with. This is the type of book that you can totally see being picked up by Netflix for a movie or series. You can totally picture everything while reading it.
