Summary
A queer coming-of-age about three teenage boys in small town Alabama who set out to get revenge on their ex-boyfriends and end up starting a student rebellion. Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jason June!
Ezra Hayes has always felt like a background character compared to BFFs Lucas and Finley. He would do anything to be seen as a romantic lead, even if it means keeping his boyfriend, Presley, a secret. But when he discovers that Presley is a lying cheater, and his best friends are having boy problems of their own, they want revenge.
Their plans to get even involve sabotaging the largest party of the year, entering a drag competition, and even having Ezra run against his ex for Winter Formal King. Then the school district starts to actively censor queer voices with their Watch What You Say initiative. Taking to TikTok to vent frustrations, Ezra begins “The Last Boyfriends Student Rebellion.”
Between ex-boyfriend drama and navigating viral TikTok fame, Ezra realizes this rebellion is about something more important than revenge. It’s a battle cry to fight back against outdated opinions and redefine what it means to be queer in small town Alabama.
Critic reviews
"Brave, bighearted, and searingly relevant with an ending that gave me chills—a glitter-dusted revolution of a book."—Becky Albertalli, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
"A triumphant, inspiring novel about finding your voice and standing up for the voices of others. Filled with a swoony love story and friendships (and dads!) that will bring you to tears, every page rings with an empowering, heartfelt message for queer people of all ages: We are here."—Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl
"A fun, fabulous, and fierce story that proves you can find the best parts of yourself after someone's done you wrong, and there's often no better revenge than doing just that. These Last Boyfriends will leave a lasting impression!"—Jason June, New York Times bestselling author of Out of the Blue and Jay's Gay Agenda

A truly powerful story!
This book is beyond brilliant. It’s a YA book about standing up for yourself, being proud of exactly who you are, and not letting others silence you. It’s about friendship, allowing yourself to let love in after you’ve been hurt. But, most importantly, it’s a battle cry for teens (and adults) in the era of LGBTQIA+ oppression - particularly of the policies around “don’t say gay” in America, and the changing government agenda around queer education in schools here in the UK.
Honestly, if you haven’t already got this book on your TBR list, get it on there ASAP. In fact, put it at the top of the pile. It’s a well-written book with such a powerful message, wrapped up in a YA bow.
