* "This is a bold, inclusive exploration of teen sexuality that, propelled by Jack's brazen voice, never feels preachy....The mystery adds truly compelling drama....Fresh, sex-positive, and unabashedly entertaining. —Booklist, starred review
* "The dearth of sex-positive YA literature-particularly sex-positive queer literature-makes this book an essential addition to library collections that serve teens. —School Library Journal, starred review
Unapologetically honest, refreshingly bold, and gloriously celebratory, being proud of who you are never felt so good. I loved this book. —Simon James Green, author of Noah Can't Even and Noah Could Never
This is the sex-positive gay YA novel of your dreams, starring one of the most authentic and lovable YA characters ever. Warm, funny, and incredibly sexy, Jack of Hearts totally has my heart. —Cale Dietrich, author of The Love Interest
Bold. Unfiltered. Supportive. Funny. Boundary-shattering. There aren't enough words for how much I loved Jack of Hearts, but if I could sum it up in one, it would be: necessary. Put this book in the hands of every teen who needs the courage to find comfort in their skin and desires (or lack thereof). —Dahlia Adler, author of Under the Lights
Told in a ferociously original voice, this subversive and defiantly queer ode to living your truth as an act of resistance arrives right on time. —Caleb Roehrig, author of Last Seen Leaving and White Rabbit
