Frannie and her best friend Marcus are both "boyfriend virgins," but Marcus has an excuse—eligible gay boys are hard to come by in their small Illinois town.

Frannie is desperate to get the attention of her crush, Jeffrey, but she’s way too shy to make a move. Marcus insists that Frannie chat with Jeffrey online, but Frannie won’t type a word without Marcus’s help.

In the chat room, Marcus and Jeffrey hit it off. The whole plan seems to be working! But the more Marcus writes, the more he’s convinced that Jeffrey is falling for him, not Frannie. Whose romance is this anyway?
