Something Like Autumn

For some, a romantic relationship seems like an impossible dream.

Growing up as a gay teenager in small-town Missouri, Jace Holden is convinced he'll die single and alone. When he meets Victor-a wild spirit and fellow outsider-his chances of finding love go from hopeless to a very uncertain maybe. Bracing his heart, Jace chases after his desire anyway, all in the hope of making his biggest dream come true.

Something Like Autumn reveals the story of Jace's life before the events of Something Like Summer while also revisiting his endearing relationship with Benjamin Bentley.

Each Something Like... book follows a different LGBTQ character on their quest for love. Central to the plot is the troubled relationship between Ben and Tim, high school sweethearts who continue to meet at different stages of their lives, their chemistry changing with each encounter. Surrounding them are a wealth of friends and enemies, each with their own story, resulting in an immersive universe filled with optimism and hope, heartbreak and healing. While the series doesn't shy away from sexual content, it also focuses deeply on emotion, resulting in an experience that will stay with you long after the final page is turned.

Jay Bell writes from his home in Chicago where he lives with his husband. His best-selling book, Something Like Summer, spawned a series of heart-wrenching novels, a musically driven movie, and a lovingly drawn comic. He has since gone on to write other emotional and yet hopelessly optimistic stories about boys in love. When not crafting imaginary worlds, he occupies his free time with animals, art, action figures, and-most ardently-his husband Andreas.
