A Really Nice Prom Mess

by Brian Sloan

A Really Nice Prom Mess Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Well, in summary, your fake date's in the bathroom with a hangover and a crispy hairdo, while my fake date is out wandering the Willard, searching for his heterosexuality or something.

High school senior Cameron Hayes gets coerced into going to the prom with a girl, even though he'd rather be with his boyfriend. The evening goes from bad to worse when his fake date gets sloshed, his boyfriend slugs him when he sees Cam kissing his fake date, and Cam flees the prom in disguise with a drug dealer. Then things really spin out of control. Over the course of one harrowing and hysterical night, Cameron's life comes undone, leading to accidental revelations, criminal adventures, and an unlikely romance.

Brian Sloan's madcap romp is a hilarious take on a teenage rite of passage — with a decided twist.

Synopsis:

In this dynamic debut novel, Sloan infuses a senior-year tradition with hilarity and irreverence, as a gay teenager endures a surreal, endless evening that not only turns his life upside down, but lands him in an unlikely romance.

About the Author

Brian Sloan is an independent filmmaker. His first feature, the screwball comedy I Think I Do, was praised by the New York Times as "hysterically funny and very smart." Brian broke onto the indie scene with the short film Pool Days, his NYU thesis project. Dealing with the sexual misadventures of a teenage lifeguard, the film screened at more than fifty film festivals, including Sundance and New Directors. Brian helped assemble a package of three short films (including Pool Days) around the theme of teen-agers coming out, Boys Life, which eventually spawned three sequels.

A Really Nice Prom Mess is his first novel. Brian lives in New York City.
