Rewind to the ’90s. Six teenagers. One unforgettable school year. Meet your new friends:
Anthony Cullen: Being in the closet is hard enough. I’m also in love with my straight best friend. Do you think he’ll ever notice me?
Omar Jafari: I’m flunking most of my classes, but hey, a pretty girl talked to me today. So maybe I should stop secretly hooking up with a dude.
Silvia Diaz: Listen, my parents are undocumented. I don’t have time to worry about boys. Or girls. Or which I like more.
Cameron Huxley: My home life might suck, but when I meet my dream guy, we’re going to show the world what true love looks like!
Mindy Beaumont: People think I’m a perfect little princess, but I feel invisible. I’ve never even kissed a boy!
Ricky Nishikawa: I’m starting freshman year in a new town. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I keep getting picked on by a bully. And he’s really, really hot.

Jay Bell creates emotionally charged stories about boys who love boys. His bestselling novel, Something Like Summer, launched a critically acclaimed series and led to a big‑screen adaptation. The covers of the Something Like… books are illustrated by his husband, Andreas, who inspires the author by being so darn adorable. Jay has gone on to write many other works—including Kamikaze Boys, a Lambda Literary Award‑winning novel—while drawing on his experiences as a gay man.
