Perfect Ten

In this “sweet and satisfying” (Booklist) queer young adult romance with a dash of magic, a highschooler finds himself in a desperate search for love.

“The most fantastic, hopeful, aspirational story of gay teens in a red state since David Levithan’s Boy Meets Boy.”—Aaron Hartzler, author of Lambda Literary Award finalist Rapture Practice

“If you like a solid YA read that makes you shamelessly squee, Perfect Ten will deliver.”—HelloGiggles

It’s been two years since Sam broke up with the only other eligible gay guy in his high school, so to say he’s been going through a romantic drought is the understatement of the decade. When Meg, his ex-Catholic-turned-Wiccan best friend, suggests performing a love spell, Sam is just desperate enough to try. He crafts a list of ten traits he wants in a boyfriend and burns it in a cemetery at midnight on Friday the thirteenth.

Enter three seemingly perfect guys, all in pursuit of Sam. There’s Gus, the suave French exchange student; Jamie, the sweet and shy artist; and Travis, the guitar-playing tattooed enigma. Even Sam’s ex-boyfriend, Landon, might want another chance.

But does a Perfect Ten even exist?
