I’m very pleased to be here with a spotlight for Straight Expectations by Calum McSwiggan for the ultimate blogtour organised by The Write Reads. Check out the funky cover, I’m loving the rainbow detail. I have been gifted an ebook but I’m struggling with reading digitally at the moment. I have made a start and the book seems like a lighthearted, fun read.

Synopsis
The brilliant debut novel from author, presenter and LGBTQ+ advocate Calum McSwiggan!
Seventeen-year-old Max has always been out, proud and just a little spoiled. Frustrated by the lack of romantic options in his small-town high school, during an argument with his lifelong best friend Dean, Max lashes out and says he wishes he had never been born gay.
Max gets more than he bargained for when he wakes up to find his wish has come true – not only have his feelings for boys vanished, but so has Dean.
With his school life turned upside down and his relationship with his family in tatters, Max sets out on a journey of rediscovery to find a way back to the life he took for granted, and the romance he thought he’d never have.
A deliciously romantic YA debut that’s What If It’s Us and One Last Stop!
