characters from across the LGBTQ+ family that you are guaranteed to fall in love with.
'I want what the straight kids have. Even just for a couple of days . . .'
Seventeen-year-old gay boy Max might be out and proud but he's usually too busy checking his nail polish to
check his privilege.
So, when he says he wishes he could have the 'easy' life straight kids enjoy, Max gets more than he
bargained for. He wakes up to find his wish has come true - not only have his feelings for boys vanished, so
has his lifelong best friend Dean.
With his world turned upside down and relationships in tatters, can Max find his way back to the life he took
for granted, and maybe even win the heart of the guy he thought could never be his . . .?
