Skys small town turns absolutely claustrophobic when his secret promposal plans get leaked to the entire school in this witty, earnest, heartfelt (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author), and ultimately hopeful debut novel for fans of What if its Us? and To All the Boys Ive Loved Before.

Sky Baker may be openly gay, but in his small, insular town, making sure he was invisible has always been easier than being himself. Determined not to let anything ruin his senior year, Sky decides to make a splash at his high schools annual beach bum party by asking his crush, Ali, to promand he has thirty days to do it.

What better way to start living loud and proud than by pulling off the gayest promposal Rock Ledge, Michigan, has ever seen?

Then, Skys plans are leaked by an anonymous hacker in a deeply homophobic e-blast that quickly goes viral. Hes fully prepared to drop out and skip town altogetheruntil his classmates give him a reason to fight back by turning his thirty-day promposal countdown into a school-wide hunt to expose the e-blast perpetrator.

But what happens at the end of the thirty days? Will Sky get to keep his hard-won visibility? Or will his small-town blues stop him from being his true self? [This book description comes from a different edition of this title. Please report any inaccuracies].
