Christina Lauren
“This book is epic.” —Cosmopolitan “A hopeful and moving love story.” —Publishers Weekly Fangirl meets Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda in this “sensitive and complex” (BCCB) coming-of-age novel from New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren about two boys who fall in love in a writing class—one from a progressive family and the other from a conservative religious community.Three years ago, Tanner Scott’s family relocated from California to Utah, a move that nudged the bisexual teen temporarily back into the closet. Now, with one semester of high school to go, and no obstacles between him and out-of-state college freedom, Tanner plans to coast through his remaining classes and clear out of Utah. But when his best friend Autumn dares him to take Provo High’s prestigious Seminar—where honor roll students diligently toil to draft a book in a semester—Tanner can’t resist going against his better judgment and having a go, if only to prove to Autumn how silly the whole thing is. Writing a book in four months sounds simple. Four months is an eternity. It turns out, Tanner is only partly right: four months is a long time. After all, it takes only one second for him to notice Sebastian Brother, the Mormon prodigy who sold his own Seminar novel the year before and who now mentors the class. And it takes less than a month for Tanner to fall completely in love with him.

"I loved this book and couldn't seem to put it down. Absolutely amazing beautiful story. I'm not one for books featuring religious themes or characters, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the battles, internal and external, and obstacles the characters faced.
Not to mention the fact that it had writing a book as a big part of the story, and as an aspiring writer, this inspired me.
For those who don't know, Christina Lauren is actually two friends who write these books together, and in the acknowledgements (I don't always read them, but I'm glad I did) it mentions that Lauren was a big part of this, and since she was bi and a school counselor who dealt with a lot of queer teens who were unsure about their futures, it explains w another reason why this book was so well written.
I was a bit annoyed at the 'best friend' though, she wasn't supportive and seemed to be a bit manipulative at times too. And then when she and Tanner (Spoiler Alert!) slept together after Tanner got broken up with and was a sobbing mess, she immediately kisses him, when he didn't want to have sex? And then he felt the need shower the whole ordeal off, and later HE'S the one who apologizes for 'taking advantage' of her? That threw me for a loop, and made it so I couldn't find it in me to sympathize with her later confessions.
It could be that it just wasn't written quite right to get the idea across, but still. Other than that, I adored this book and enjoyed the roller coaster of emotions."
"This book NEEDS more attention!! The writing style fits the target audience entirely and the characters are to die for!! I highly recommended this book!!!"
