A charming YA rom-com perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and What If It’s Us.

Micah Summers runs a popular Instagram full of drawings of his numerous imaginary boyfriends (ninety-nine so far)—though he's never had a real boyfriend before. But when a meet-cute with Boy 100 goes wrong, Micah embarks on a Prince Charming-like quest throughout Chicago to find true love—for real this time.

Will Boy 100 be the One?

Micah is rich, dreamy, and charming. As the “Prince of Chicago,”—the son of local celebrity sports radio host known as the King of Chicago—he has everything going for him. Unfortunately, he’s also the prince of imaginary meet-cutes, since he’s too nervous to actually ask boys out.

Instead, Micah draws each crush to share on Instagram with a post about their imaginary dates. Ninety-nine “boyfriends” later, his account is hugely popular, and everyone is eagerly awaiting Boy 100. So is Micah. He’s determined that Boy 100 will be different. This time, Micah will sweep the boy off his feet, for real!

So when Micah flirts with a hot boy on the L who’s wearing a vegan leather jacket and lugging a ton of library books, he is sure this is Boy 100. But right before he can make his move and ask for the boy’s number, the guy rushes off the train, leaving behind his pumpkin-embroidered jacket. The jacket holds clues to the boy’s identity, so Micah and his friends set off on a quest to return it. Along the way, Micah will discover that the best relationships aren’t fairy tales. In fact, the perfect fit—and true love—might be closer than he thinks.

Um conto de fadas gay

Que leitura viciante e imersiva! Fazia tempo que um livro não mexia com as minhas emoções como esse. Senti raiva, alegria, borboletas no estômago, medo, tudo junto com o Micah, que é um protagonista mto interessante.

Esse é um romance YA sobre primeiros relacionamentos e imaturidade. É sobre corações partidos, mas também finais felizes. E falando em final, achei um pouco forçado e beeem irreal, mas é comédia romântica né? E sinto que mtos gays jovens precisam ler livros com grandes finais felizes como esse.

Gostei mto de acompanhar a trajetória do Micah percebendo aos poucos oq pra mim estava obvio desde os primeiros caps. Toda a parte de caça-pistas atrás do garoto 100 tbm foi bem divertida. Eu devorei esse livro! E tendo estado tanto no lugar do Micah como do Grant, entendi pq o autor escolheu aquele final. A vida real é assim: a gente se machuca e machuca os outros. Mas precisamos ser fiéis ao que sentimos
