Book SynopsisWINNER OF THE SCOTTISH TEENAGE BOOK PRIZE 2022
Fin Whittle is sixteen and he likes guys. A fact which seems to be complicating his life.
One minute Fin's kissing the godlike Jesse; the next he's been cruelly outed. His family's response? To up sticks in search of a 'fresh start'.
A fresh start won't change the truth of who Fin is. Obviously. But it does introduce him to the best squad in town: kick-ass Poppy, her on-off girlfriend June and the super cute, super irresistible Rye.
Fin soon has a serious crush. And Rye might just feel the same way. But Fin's parents aren't happy. If their son won't change his 'lifestyle', they'll force him onto the straight and narrow . . . by way of 'conversion therapy'. An outrageous plan is needed to face down the haters and to give Fin and Rye (and their fireflies) a chance at the happy-ever-after their story deserves . . .
From moonlit meet-ups to vintage diners, pride parades to a passion for old vinyl, Fin & Rye & Fireflies is a gloriously upbeat tale of being true to yourself no matter what.
