Out and proud Jonathan is obsessed with Australian pop star Kylie Minogue. When a popular girl asks him to pretend to be her girlfriend in return for a trip to the UK to see Kylie perform, Jonathan accepts her offer, even though it means going back into the closet.
Publisher’s Description:
Life is fabulous for Jonathan Parish.
He’s seventeen, out and proud, and ready to party through senior year with his posse of best girlfriends. But the year starts off with the wrong kind of bang when Jonathan — in an inebriated lapse of judgment — sleeps with a friend of his…a girl friend!
When word gets around that hot-but-previously-unavailable Jonathan might be on the market, the school’s It girl approaches him with a proposal: pretend to be her boyfriend, and achieve popularity like he’s never known. But popularity isn’t what Jonathan wants. And suddenly, going back into the closet becomes Jonathan’s only way to get what he’s after — a trip to see Kylie Minogue.
