From the bestselling author of Just Pretend comes a heartwarming and honest middle grade graphic novel about the messy journey of self-discovery and the importance of human connection, perfect fans of Click and New Girl.

When Nate asks Kyle to be his boyfriend, Kyle is surprised, but excited. Kyle loves hanging out with Nate—especially when they team up to create Crow Crimes, a podcast investigating the mysterious disappearances of trinkets in their town.

But while podcasting comes easily to Kyle, being a boyfriend doesn’t. Nate seems so comfortable holding hands, giving gifts, and announcing their relationship to the world. Meanwhile, Kyle wishes there was some kind of rulebook he could study. How are boyfriends supposed to act? How are they supposed to feel? And if Kyle doesn’t feel how he’s supposed to . . . does that make him a bad boyfriend?

With all the sweetness and humor of her bestselling graphic memoir Just Pretend, Tori Sharp weaves a brand-new story about being true to your feelings—and your friends.
