Publisher Description

Sky’s small town turns absolutely claustrophobic when his secret promposal plans get leaked to the entire school in this witty, “earnest, heartfelt” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author), and ultimately hopeful debut novel for fans of What if it’s Us? and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

Sky Baker may be openly gay, but in his small, insular town, making sure he was invisible has always been easier than being himself. Determined not to let anything ruin his senior year, Sky decides to make a splash at his high school’s annual beach bum party by asking his crush, Ali, to prom—and he has thirty days to do it.

What better way to start living loud and proud than by pulling off the gayest promposal Rock Ledge, Michigan, has ever seen?

Then, Sky’s plans are leaked by an anonymous hacker in a deeply homophobic e-blast that quickly goes viral. He’s fully prepared to drop out and skip town altogether—until his classmates give him a reason to fight back by turning his thirty-day promposal countdown into a school-wide hunt to expose the e-blast perpetrator.

But what happens at the end of the thirty days? Will Sky get to keep his hard-won visibility? Or will his small-town blues stop him from being his true self?

Read the Whole Thing in Less than 24 Hours

This book is heartwarming and beautiful. Sky and his friends are so lovable, and funny. They remind me of my friends in high school, and make me grateful I’m still friends with them nearly 20 years later. I love how none of the characters waxed poetic about how high school was the best time of their lives. This book was honest and genuine. I absolutely loved how supportive the vast majority of the adults were. I appreciated Couch leaving out any character telling them to sit down, shut up, go to class, and be respectful.

I usually avoid YA books like the plague because authors seem to feel the need to get really cliché or turn an already overly dramatic time in life EXTRA overly dramatic. Robbie Couch absolutely did NOT do that. He let things be dramatic by nature and didn’t feel the need to embellish. He made me think of myself in high school, daydreaming of the crush I had for all three years I was in high school and freaking out when he found out in a less than ideal way.

Michael Crouch did an amazing job bringing Sky and his world to life for the audiobook. I really felt like Crouch’s voice was Sky’s voice throughout.
