This is another one of those moments where I vaguely skimmed the back of the book and liked the cover when I purchased it. There's a bookstore up here that puts queer flag bookmarks in books and I saw this one and picked it up.
Jack goes to a private school in NYC. He's promiscuous, loves his life, and has a lot of fun. He doesn't like to cause drama. When his friend asks him to write an advice column anonymously, he starts to help people but also causes some unwanted attention in the form of a stalker.
Rosen does a good job of showing the effects of constant attention from unknown sources can affect your attitude. It felt more Single White Female meets Sex Education than I expected. The characters are fun and the advice that Jack gives is solid. Overall a a fun YA read.
