Bookroo's summary

In a high school where cheerleaders ride Harleys and the quarterback is also the homecoming queen, Paul believes he's found true love with Noah. But after a misstep, he faces long odds to win Noah back. With friends drifting and family pressures mounting, Paul must navigate a world where chaos reigns and love is the ultimate prize. Can he defy the odds and reclaim his heart's desire, or will everything fall apart before it comes together? Discover a romantic comedy where love is loud and life is wonderfully unpredictable.

From the publisher

This is the story of Paul, a sophomore at a high school like no other: The cheerleaders ride Harleys, the homecoming queen used to be a guy named Daryl (she now prefers Infinite Darlene and is also the star quarterback), and the gay-straight alliance was formed to help the straight kids learn how to dance. When Paul meets Noah, he thinks he’s found the one his heart is made for. Until he blows it. The school bookie says the odds are 12-to-1 against him getting Noah back, but Paul’s not giving up without playing his love really loud. His best friend Joni might be drifting away, his other best friend Tony might be dealing with ultra-religious parents, and his ex-boyfriend Kyle might not be going away anytime soon, but sometimes everything needs to fall apart before it can really fit together right. This is a happy-meaningful romantic comedy about finding love, losing love, and doing what it takes to get love back in a crazy-wonderful world.
