Description
Riverdale meets Love, Simon in this modern, fresh, YA debut about an unapologetically queer teen working to uncover a blackmailer threatening him back into the closet.
Jack has a lot of sex–and he’s not ashamed of it. While he’s sometimes ostracized, and gossip constantly rages about his sex life, Jack always believes that “it could be worse.”
But then, the worse unexpectedly strikes: When Jack starts writing a teen sex advice column for an online site, he begins to receive creepy and threatening love letters that attempt to force Jack to curb his sexuality and personality. Now it’s up to Jack and his best friends to uncover the stalker–before their love becomes dangerous.
Ground-breaking and page-turning, Jack of Hearts (and other parts) celebrates the freedom to be oneself, especially in the face of adversity.

From NOVL Nation
“The sex-ed class you didn’t get in high school—positive, frank, and inclusive, but also hilarious, heartfelt, and impossibly fun.”
—Mackenzi Lee, bestselling author of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue
“Unapologetically honest, refreshingly bold, and gloriously celebratory, being proud of who you are never felt so good. I loved this book.”
—Simon James Green, author of Noah Can’t Even
“The sex-positive gay YA novel of your dreams, starring one of the most authentic and lovable YA characters ever. Warm, funny, and incredibly sexy.”
—Cale Dietrich, author of The Love Interest
“Bold. Unfiltered. Supportive. Funny. Boundary-shattering. There aren’t enough words for how much I loved Jack of Hearts, but if I could sum it up in one, it would be: necessary.”
—Dahlia Adler, author of Under the Lights
“Told in a ferociously original voice, this subversive and defiantly queer ode to living your truth as an act of resistance arrives right on time.”
—Caleb Roehrig, author of Last Seen Leaving
