Today on the site I’m delighted to reveal the cover of America’s Not-So Sweetheart by Blair Hanson, a gay YA Romance releasing June 17, 2025 from Page Street YA! Here’s the story:
Alec Braud is the most hated teen in America after winning Campfire Wars by backstabbing his showmance, Joaquin Delgado. So when Joaquin asks Alec to join him on a road trip in order to “queerify” classic movie kisses for an art project, Alec agrees in the hopes it might make get them back together and convince the world he’s not a bad guy IRL.
Alec spends the trip reading into Joaquin’s flirty behavior and things get even more complicated when Alec is invited to return to the next season of Campfire Wars. He’s been trying to prove to everyone (and Joaquin) that he’s not actually the worst. But Alec is torn again between a second chance with Joaquin and cold hard cash.
Can he turn down the chance to return to the small screen for what only might be love?
And here’s the killer cover, designed by Vienna Gambol with art by Otesanya!
