After being discarded by his boyfriend to pursue more "serious" individuals, a teenage boy takes matters into his own hands by running for senior class president in this captivating and entertaining romp from the author of "The Sky Blues." Blaine Bowers, a high school junior, possesses an enviable life: a perfect boyfriend, a fulfilling muralist career, a supportive family, and a close-knit group of talented friends. He is certain that his boyfriend, Joey, a senior student council president and the epitome of popularity at Wicker West High School, will extend an invitation for Blaine to join his family on a picturesque spring break vacation in the vibrant city of Cabo San Lucas. However, Joey's plans take an unexpected turn when he publicly dumps Blaine on their one-year anniversary. Joey claims that Blaine is too carefree, impulsive, and lacking in seriousness, believing that these qualities hinder his pursuit of a successful future. Joey's new boyfriend, Zach, is a prime example of the seriousness he desires. Driven by a desire to prove himself and surpass Joey's expectations, Blaine decides to enter the race for senior student council president. However, this decision comes with a significant sacrifice. Blaine must confront the possibility of relinquishing the things he cherishes about himself in order to achieve his goal. He must navigate the treacherous waters of politics, cultivate a more serious persona, and confront the challenges that lie ahead. As Blaine embarks on this journey, he must confront the true essence of his identity and determine whether he is willing to compromise his values to fulfill his boyfriend's expectations.
