Something Like Autumn (gay fiction)

While growing up gay in small-town Missouri, Jace Holden is convinced he’ll die single and alone. When he meets Victor—a free spirit and fellow outsider—his chances of finding love go from hopeless to a very uncertain maybe. The more Jace gets to know his wild boy, the more he realizes just how strange Victor truly is, preferring to camp in the woods and wax philosophical rather than live a normal life. Bracing his heart, Jace chases after his desire anyway, all in the hope of making his biggest dream come true.

Something Like Autumn reveals the story of Jace's life before the events of Something Like Summer while also revisiting his endearing relationship with Benjamin Bentley.

Each Something Like... book follows a different LGBTQ character on their quest for romance. Central to the plot is the troubled relationship between Ben and Tim, high school sweethearts who continue to meet at different stages of their adult lives, their chemistry changing with each encounter. Surrounding them is a wealth of friends and enemies, each with their own story, resulting in an immersive universe filled with optimism and hope, heartbreak and healing. While the series doesn't shy away from sexual content, it also focuses deeply on emotion, resulting in an experience that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.
