Bold, nostalgic, and unapologetically queer, Pride High is a coming-of-age romance series anyone who wants to experience the thrill—and the heartbreak—of falling in love for the first time.

Rewind to the ’90s. Six teenagers. One unforgettable school year. Meet your new friends:

Anthony Cullen: Being in the closet is hard enough. I’m also in love with my straight best friend. Do you think he’ll ever notice me?

Omar Jafari: I’m flunking most of my classes, but hey, a pretty girl talked to me today. So maybe I should stop secretly hooking up with a dude.

Silvia Diaz: Listen, my parents are undocumented. I don’t have time to worry about boys. Or girls. Or which I like more.

Cameron Huxley: My home life might suck, but when I meet my dream guy, we’re going to show the world what true love looks like!

Mindy Beaumont: People think I’m a perfect little princess, but I feel invisible. I’ve never even kissed a boy!

Ricky Nishikawa: I’m starting freshman year in a new town. As if that wasn’t bad enough, I keep getting picked on by a bully. And he’s really, really hot.

The ultimate high school experience awaits you in this full-length novel filled with passion and self-discovery. Enroll in Pride High today!

Jay Bell always creates a vivid world full of characters who will tug at your heart strings. The ‘Something Like’ series is amazing; In this book, Jay Bell created a much more diverse cast of characters. This should alleviate the one limitation with the ‘Something Like’ series, which was that the majority of characters are gay. That always suspended the realism for me in a world that seemed so real with characters that’s I loved. I love this wider set of characters and should produce a world more representative of the real world. However, I must admit that the sexual aspect combined with some of the characters ages made me uncomfortable as an adult. That said, after some serious thought on if I should continue reading I found that those aspects did align with my own life experiences. Which when combined with the fact that he was not overly graphic kept me reading, but it was close, I almost stopped. Overall, I am very pleased with the world this book sets up and am looking forward to the older versions of these characters.

Every bit Jay Bell - More Realistic World than ‘Something Like’ Series

I have ever come across. You can tell the author is a gay male. He captures all of the emotional turmoil so perfectly. I’ve also gone through what Ricki has and it hit so hard. Wonderful book great narration.

One of the best coming of age stories

This is another excellent Jay Bell story. Fans of the Something Like Series will enjoy this first of hopefully many more stories in this new series. Bell has a way of creating a universe of relatable and likable characters. I'm a huge fan of Jay Bell; his fans will love this. Talia Carver did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life.

Loved This!

Well written and a great story of fully developed characters. A good reflection on that bridge time when the doors were slowly opened for queer kids to be themselves
