Overview
EmmettĀ Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence and had lived nearly eighteen years in the world with very little to distress or vex him.
Ā
EmmettĀ knows heās blessed. And because of that, he tries to give back: from charity work to letting the often irritating Georgia sit at his table at lunch, he knows itās important to be nice. And recently, heās found a new way of giving back: matchmaking. He set up his best friend Taylor with her new boyfriend and itās gone perfectly. So when his occasional friend-with-benefits Harrison starts saying he wants a boyfriend (somethingĀ EmmettĀ definitely does NOT want to be), he decides to try and find Harrison the perfect man at Highbury Academy.Ā
Ā
Emmettās childhood friend, Miles, thinks finding a boyfriend for a guy you sleep with is a bad idea. But Miles is straight, andĀ EmmettĀ says this is gay life ā your friends, your lovers, your boyfriends ā they all come from the same very small pool. Thatās whyĀ Emmett doesnāt date ā to keep things clean. He knows the human brain isnāt done developing until twenty-five, so any relationship he enters into before then would inevitably end in a breakup, in loss. And heās seen what loss can do. His mother died four years ago and his Dad hasnāt been the same since.Ā
Ā
But the linesĀ EmmettĀ tries to draw are more porous than he thinks, and as he tries to find Harrison the perfect match, he learns that gifted as he may be, maybe he has no idea what heās doing when it comes to love.Ā
Ā
Modern and very gay, with a charmingly conceited lead who is convinced he knows it all, and the occasional reference to the classic movieĀ Clueless,Ā EmmettĀ brings you lush romance all while exploring the complexities of queer cultureāwhere your lovers and friends are sometimes the same person, but the person you fall in love with might be a total surprise.
