Summary
Fifteen-year-old Carlos Amoroso is a virgin – and he isn’t happy about it. He’d love to hook up with gorgeous Roxy, but she has no idea he’s alive. Watching a TV show one night gives Carlos an idea: What if he got a makeover from Sal, a senior at his school who’s gay? Sal agrees – but only if Carlos helps him start a Gay-Straight Alliance. Carlos doesn’t expect the catch. What are his friends going to think? And is he ever going to get what he wants?
