This unforgettable high school story, Practice Perfect, dives into light-hearted comedy, innocent romance, and the quintessential coming-of-age experience. With its true-to-life, painstakingly slow exploration of LGBT+ identity, this novel delivers a hilarious journey of self-discovery.
Arlo Augustine has always been an outsider. He is the invisible third wheel, and the self-appointed underdog in his high school's social hierarchy. That all changes when Kensington Cole, the "Golden Spoon" of Shalom High, enters Arlo's static life and brings with him a world of turbulence.
Battling bullies, stereotypes, and teenage naivety, Arlo and Kensington form an unlikely alliance to bring two hearts together-although they are never quite on the same page about what this means. Arlo's wit and self-deprecating philosophies make him a frustrating yet charming narrator; the story's moving exploration of vulnerability and identity will resonate with anyone who's felt like an outsider.
From hilariously awkward misunderstandings to moments of enlightenment, Practice Perfect captures adolescence through the honest lens of clueless, impulsive, hearts-on-their-sleeve teenagers. It's a book about learning, growth, self-discovery and acceptance, and to comfortably take up space a big world.
Perfect for fans of heartfelt LGBT+ high school stories, this novel promises to leave readers laughing, cringing, and rooting for Arlo and Kensington every step of the way. Whether you're here for the second-hand embarrassment, the torturously slow romance, or the cathartic reminder that it's okay not to have it all figured out, Practice Perfect delivers a tale you'll never forget.
