Bestselling author Phil Stamper takes the Golden Boys from summer fun to senior year in the next installment of his charming duology.

After a life-changing summer, these four friends are finally ready for senior year.

Gabriel is thrilled to create his school’s first LGBTQ+ advocacy group, but his long-distance relationship is fading from summer love to something else. . .

Heath feels secure for the first time in years, but with his future riding on a baseball scholarship each pitch triggers his anxiety. . .

Reese is set on pursuing a career in fashion design, but his creativity takes him in an unexpected direction, he isn’t yet ready to share. . .

Sal wants to be in politics, specifically local politics. After a chat with his aunt, he is ready for an unlikely path . . .

As graduation nears and the boys prepare to enter the real world, it feels like everything is changing so fast--including their friendships. Can they find a way to make the most of their senior year even as they eagerly look ahead to the future?

Avery ★★★★★

I loved how Stamper captured the bittersweet feeling of senior year starting after such a big summer—the friendship dynamics feel so real in this next installment. The way each character gets their own chapter really lets you see their personal growth.

Edward ★★★★★

I was a little nervous the sequel wouldn't capture that same summer magic, but the way it picks up with the guys heading into senior year feels so real and bittersweet. Stamper balances all four of their voices perfectly, and the pacing kept me turning pages way past my bedtime.

Grace G. ★★★★★

The way Stamper weaves each friend's senior year struggles—like anxiety about college apps and changing friendships—feels so real it kept me turning pages. Perfect follow-up that captures that bittersweet end-of-high-school energy.
