Overview

What’s it like being a teenager in the 90s? I’ll tell you. Anthony’s life would be perfect, if he wasn’t in love with his best friend Omar, who should be worrying about his grades but can only think about girls, especially now that Silvia actually talked to him, but she’s more concerned about someone noticing the legal status of her parents, unlike her best friend Mindy who feels like she’s invisible, especially around boys like Cameron, who doesn’t realize that the guy he’s chatting with online is different than the one he plans on flirting with tomorrow. But besides all that, things are fine. I guess. Oh wait, did you hear what happened to Ricky? Now that was a mess!

Pride High is Jay Bell’s spiritual successor to his award-winning Something Like… series, promising more of the heart-pounding romance he is known for with a cast of unforgettable characters that will soon feel like close friends.

Review

"Jay Bell is an auto-buy author for me. It started with Something like Summer , and from that point on, I have read every word of the Something Like... series and have listened to just about all of them. Jay Bell is such a great writer that you become invested in his characters." ~Kathie, The Novel Approach on Something Like Lightning

"Author Jay Bell wows us once again with his consummate storytelling, his impeccable characterization, and his superior ability to weave a remarkably sweet and lyrical love story." ~ Sammy, Joyfully Jay on Kamikaze Boys

"Jay's grasp of creating emotional atmospheres in his stories is phenomenal. His words reach inside of me, invoking emotions, almost before I know I feel them." ~Lena Grey, Rainbow Books Reviews on Something Like Lightning

"The dialogue is witty and real, the emotion raw and deep. I'm in love with every character in these stories -- they feel like family. I've learned so much from these books and, trite as it may sound, I now have a deeper appreciation for love and life. Excellent." - Sara, Amazon customer on Something Like Rain

"With Something Like Summer , Jay Bell has created a space where love and romance; grief, understanding and change all resonate with the reader,whether gay or straight, much in the same way Annie Proulx did in Brokeback Mountain." ~ Raant Magazine on Something Like Summer

"It had been a long time since a book's characters made me almost forget they were fictional and inspired in me a desire to be a part of their world." ~Nicholas Kralev, Huffington Post on Something Like Summer
