How far would you go to get the girl of your dreams? In the aftermath of his parent's divorce, it's not just about getting laid for Carlos Amoroso -though not being the only one still holding his V-card would be a huge relief - but getting his crush Roxy to finally notice him. He'll try anything including a crazy idea of getting pointers from the gay guy when he sees how easily Sal talks and acts with girls. The two strike a deal where Sal helps Carlos clean up to catch Roxy's eye and Carlos in turns helps him start the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) at school. Carlos and Sal might not seem to have that much in common at first but soon Carlos starts learning more from Sal than he ever expected.
"I'm not sure why they don't make more of these books available to us at school. It just makes kids more curious to read it." -Ronnie, 19
