Memoirs of a Gay Guy : 1000 Things

Junior year. Grade eleven. Penultimate year of high school. However you want to put it, it won't change what it is. And what it is for Will Thomas is not what he's hoping or expecting. His best friends are recently dumped and in a relationship, respectively, and he's stuck with dreaming about the boy who kissed him without a goodbye at the beginning of the summer.

School is getting more difficult and life is getting more complicated, but through his journal Will is able to see his life in black and white - if he squints really hard. Coping with mixed emotions, amazing experiences and things that will never be forgotten, this is what high school is all about.
