Two Parties, One Tux, and a Very Short Film About The Grapes of Wrath, by Steven Goldman

When David tells Mitchell Wells he’s gay, Mitchell’s okay with it—but it still seems to change things between them. Since David’s not "out" to anyone else, the guys agree to be set up with prom dates by Mitchell's sister. Then, one of the most popular girls in school decides to date Mitchell, and he’s gone from zero to two girlfriends in sixty seconds. From his tanking English grade(a not especially realistic sub-plot) to his floundering friendships to his love life—the one thing that’s taken a bizarre turn for the better—Mitchell is so confused, he’ll be lucky if he lasts another week in high school! And then there’s the prom . . . Poignantly written, the loose plot lines are resolved a little too conveniently, spoiling a story whose characters are realistic and likeable. Note: graphic sexual descriptions may put some readers off. They get in the way of the important themes of finding one's own identity and being true to oneself.
