The Nerd, The Jock and The Badboy

Dawson Homewood, nerd extraordinaire, can't believe his good fortune: just when he starts dating gorgeous football player Eli, hunky bad boy Joey makes his own interest totally clear. At first, he can't believe his good fortune. In fact, he thinks he has died and gone to heaven. His best friend, fellow nerd Victor, can't believe it either, and becomes determined to enjoy the same love life success.

Dawson obsesses over the best qualities of both amazing boys, but Eli and Joey always come out equal. When he finally comes close to choosing, he gets knocked back to square one. Worse, Dawson realizes he could lose both boys and his best friend, ruining his dream-come-true.

The Westside Boys series is set in an ideal universe in which homophobia and hatred take a backseat and optimism rules. The characters in this young adult novel are free to pursue their love lives in a safe place, free from prejudice and fear.
