description: Hilarity ensues when a slacker teen boy discovers he's gay in this unforgettably funny YA debut.Mike Tate is a normal dude. He and his friends have a crappy band (an excuse to drink cheap beer and rock out to the Lemonheads) and hang out in parking lots doing stupid board tricks. But when Mike's girlfriend Lisa who knows him better than he does breaks up with him he realizes he's about to have a major epiphany that will blow his mind. And worse--he gets elected to homecoming court.It's like the apocalypse came only instead of nuclear bombs and zombies Mike gets school participation gay thoughts and mother-effin' cheerleaders.With the free spirit of The Perks of Being a Wallflower the raw voice of Winger and characters reminiscent of Freaks &amp; Geeks this debut YA offers a standout voice and a fresh modern take on the coming-out story.
