Now Will is faced with the biggest challenge of his life: follow his heart and risk his friendships, or stay firmly in the closet and lose what he loves most. While his summer was spent being very much himself, back at school he’s simply known as one of the varsity basketball guys. Will is more than a little shocked to see Ollie the evening of that first day of school. Dreams that are crushed when he sees Will at a school party and finds that the sweet and affectionate (and comfortably queer) guy he knew from summer isn’t the same one attending Collinswood High. But when Ollie’s aunt's health takes a turn for the worse and his family decides to stay in North Carolina to take care of her, Ollie lets himself hope this fling can grow to something more. Ollie and Will were meant to be a summer fling-casual, fun, and done. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA meets CLUELESS in this boy-meets-boy spin on Grease Ollie would have to be an idiot to trust him with it again.SIMON VS. The last time he gave Will his heart, Will handed it back to him trampled and battered. With the noisy drama of their friends as the backdrop – from ambitious Juliette and frosty Lara, to big-hearted Darnell and king-jock Matt – Ollie has a decision to make. But as school life repeatedly throws them together, from music class to the lunch table, Ollie finds his resolve weakening. Ollie isn’t going to pine after a guy who isn’t ready for a relationship. This Will is a class clown, a basketball jock and, well, a bit of a jerk. But once summer’s ended, Will stops texting him back, and Ollie finds himself short of his fairy-tale ending.Ī family emergency sees Ollie uprooted and enrolled at a new school across the country – Will’s school – and Ollie finds that the sweet, affectionate and comfortably queer guy he knew from summer isn’t the same one attending Collinswood High. When Ollie meets Will over the summer break, he thinks he’s found his Happily Ever After. A guy who’d better have been abducted by goddamn aliens… A guy who’d convinced me he really, really liked me. A guy who knew all my biggest secrets, and had Seen. So why was I here, banging my head against a metaphorical wall, weighing up the pros and cons of sending another message? This wasn’t a big deal. Because, you see, I was four days into mine, and my prince was nowhere to be found.

It was the very last Wednesday of August when I realized Disney had been lying to me about Happily Ever Afters. But only one of them is out…SIMON VS THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDA meets a modern-day, queer re-imagining of GREASE. Ollie and Will were a summer fling now they’re classmates. *Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2021!*
