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

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

Matt Cain, author of The Madonna of Bolton
Tackles subjects that many would rather bury and pretend teens don't want (or need) to talk about
Simon James Green, author of Noah Can't Even and Noah Would Never
A sex-positive and thoughtful romp with humour and heart
Kirkus Reviews
A bold, inclusive exploration of teen sexuality that, propelled by Jack's brazen voice, never feels preachy
