Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
A modern-day gay Emma, with the spikey social critique of Austen plus the lush over-the-top romance of Bridgerton suitable for those who loved Red, White and Royal Blue.
Modern and very gay, with a charmingly conceited lead who is convinced he knows it all, and the occasional reference to the classic movie Clueless, Emmett brings you lush romance all while exploring the complexities of queer culture – where your lovers and friends are sometimes the same person, but the person you fall in love with might be a total surprise.
Emmett Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, had lived nearly eighteen years in the world with very little to distress or vex him.
Emmett knows he's blessed. And because of that, he tries to give back: from charity work to letting the often irritating Georgia sit at his table at lunch, he knows it's important to be nice. And recently, he's found a new way of giving back: matchmaking. He set up his best friend Taylor with her new boyfriend and it's gone perfectly. So when his occasional friend-with-benefits Harrison starts saying he wants a boyfriend (something Emmett definitely does NOT want to be), he decides to try and find Harrison the perfect man at Highbury Academy, the candy-coloured private school they attend just outside Los Angeles.
Emmett's childhood friend, Miles, thinks finding a boyfriend for a guy you sleep with is a bad idea. But Miles is straight, and Emmett says this is gay life – your friends, your lovers, your boyfriends – they all come from the same very small pool. That's why Emmett doesn't date – to keep things clean. He knows the human brain isn't done developing until twenty-five, so any relationship he enters into before then would inevitably end in a breakup, in loss. And he's seen what loss can do. His mother died four years ago and his dad hasn't been the same since.
But the lines Emmett tries to draw are more porous than he thinks, and as he tries to find Harrison the perfect match, he learns that gifted as he may be, maybe he has no idea what he's doing when it comes to love.
'Charming, romantic and gay as all get-out, Rosen's contemporary reimagining of Jane Austen's classic gives its themes a new life.' Erin Gough, award-winning author of Amelia Westlake
'Stylish, bitingly funny and buckets of fun...as addictive as your latest Netflix obsession.' Cale Dietrich, co-author of If This Gets Out
