"In that moment, there arose all the resolve I hoped would be with me when I finally met her, and my vertigo turned to exultation. So what if she was married? I had contemplated that long ago, and decided I'd have her anyway." Joshua Rivers was born to expect great things. A former child prodigy and the son of a lottery winner, he also believes himself blessed with a vision of his perfect destiny and his perfect love. Now in his early twenties, Joshua already feels left behind by life. His long-time lover Lilian Lau is well on her way to becoming a famous artist, and his former classmates are also racing toward their success. Meanwhile, he waits for the moment, and the girl, that will show him his time has finally arrived. When it does, he resolves to take what is his, whatever it costs him or anyone. Kiss Me, Genius Boy is the first part of the No More Dreams series: an unusual story about love, ambition, and the problems of being privileged. ---- Praise for Kiss Me Genius Boy: "I’ve been telling my friends how refreshing it is to read something by one of my generation, instead of something by someone that's dead. … Above all I admired the pithy, adroit little maxims on the nature of things." —Dylan Thorn, author of I'm Dead "Uniquely refreshing … particularly erotic in its unabashed candidness." —Madeline R. "A page turner, very funny and unusually honest and frank … Lily really steals the show. A nymphomaniacal exploiter of men and women, a deeply interesting, entertaining and wild character who lights up every page she is on." —Nicola G. "Just read Berko scene from KMGB. Kick ASS! That scene just earnt me buying vol 2 when it comes out. Lily needs a cape and skin-tight leather pants. Lily needs her own graphic novel. Lily should be immortal, and probably is. Read KMGB so you can meet Lily. I secretly think she is Joshua's alter-ego. I think she might now also be mine." —Esme F. "Simple, direct but with subtle, thought-provoking passages about self-awareness and one’s relation to life and others. I can’t wait for the next book." —Aiza C. "Honestly I love it. It made me realize more the complexities and dimensions of love and loving." —Mary J. T.

But . . . is it even fake dating if he doesn't know it's happening? As far as first days at a new school goes, Addie's is the worst. She's accused of being a narc, stealing a boyfriend, and starting a fight—and that's just before lunch. On top of that, she's snagged the attention of the school's most popular jerk and he won't take a hint. But worst of all? Rumors start flying that she's the property of Vincent, the terrifying bad boy. It's not true, obviously. They've just been partnered together since they're both new to school. But when being known as Vincent's girl helps to keep the haters at bay, what's a girl to do but go along with it? Yes, he's intimidating, and sure, the way he looks at her makes her shiver. But it's only one little lie. And he doesn't even need to know... The new girl Addie? She's weird. That's all Vincent knows for sure. Other than that, he's completely confused. Why is she always smiling and laughing like he's just said something funny? She's also super clingy. And everywhere he turns. Is it possible that the sweet, innocent girl next door has a crush on the guy from juvie? No way. But their so-called relationship does wonders to anger his newfound family. So yeah, sure. Why not play along? It's not like anyone will get hurt. No matter what happens, he's bound and determined to leave this town. And no girlfriend, fake or otherwise, is going to change his mind. Not even if she's the closest he's ever come to having a home.
