Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts)
L C Rosen
(Author)Description
Jack has a lot of sex--and he's not ashamed of it. While he's sometimes ostracized, and gossip constantly rages about his sex life, Jack always believes that "it could be worse."
But then, the worse unexpectedly strikes: When Jack starts writing a teen sex advice column for an online site, he begins to receive creepy and threatening love letters that attempt to force Jack to curb his sexuality and personality. Now it's up to Jack and his best friends to uncover the stalker--before their love becomes dangerous.
Ground-breaking and page-turning, Jack of Hearts (and other parts) celebrates the freedom to be oneself, especially in the face of adversity.

Reviews
A 2019 ALA Rainbow List Top Ten Title
"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, the New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue
