Seventeen-year-old Zach is not a moral crusader. He's a snarky, well-liked stoner who attends detention about as often as Algebra. Unfortunately, he's also a closeted bisexual in 2005, in a town where even the potheads are conservatives. When school firebrand Gabe suggests they pretend to date in order to take the heat off two female students who are actually in love, Zach knows it's the worst idea he's ever heard. Then he does it anyway.

Customer Reviews
A masterpiece
One of my favorite podcasts full stop. Some amazing scriptwriting is happening here to translate this from book to podcast format so well. The humor is brilliant and meeting all of these characters in an audio format has been such an amazing experience. I loved every minute of the first episode and have gone back to listen to it several times just to experience that magic again
Highly Recommend!
I’ve listened to ep 1 like 3 times in a row. I love the fic this was based on, and it’s wonderful to get to meet the characters in audio form.
YES!
the fic that inspired this is my ALL TIME favorite- and GOD the podcast lives up to it! I CANNOT wait for more. Love love love it
