Trepidation

Following the inclusivity of hits such as Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda comes the debut novel by Darryn Hawks filled with realistic characters set out to find love and make the world a more accepting place one story at a time. This will be your new favorite LGBTQ+ story.

Anyone who has ever had to come out as a different gender will tell you how terrifying it is, how much easier it would be to just pretend and never tell anyone. Now imagine if you're the reason someone is thinking of you as a different gender.

Despite his age, seventeen-year-old Ethan Heath has never been on a date, let alone had a boyfriend. But with his friends pestering him about finding love, he caves in and downloads a dating app where he meets Trevor Demond, a popular jock at Ethan's school. However, it was already too deep in the conversation before Ethan realized his critical mistake setting up his account: he put himself in as female.
