Humane, sex-positive writing of the funniest, filthiest and most heartening kind. * The Guardian *
Jack of Hearts might be the most important queer novel of the decade * Gay Times *
Contemporary sex advice meets mystery in this high school story of bullying and being true to oneself … an essential addition to library collections that serve teens. * School Library Journal starred review *
Jack of Hearts (And Other Parts) is the sex ed class you didn’t get in high school - positive, frank and inclusive, but also hilarious, heartfelt and impossibly fun. This book is like a hug that also slaps you on the ass (in the consensual flirtatious sexy way). * Mackenzi Lee, New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue *
A fierce, frank high school thriller which depicts gay intimacy in a sex positive and unapologetic way. * The Bookseller *
This book is filth * Julian Clary *
It’s the book about high school that gives you the sex ed class desperately lacking from high school education. * Courtney Act *
The affirming, sex-positive, brilliant new book that puts the “adult” into young adult literature * Attitude Magazine *
Readers will be talking about Jack for years to come * Diva Magazine *
I know that when I was coming out I would have loved to have been able to pick up a book that did not ignore or demonise gay sex * Queen and Country Magazine *
