ONLY MOSTLY DEVASTATED x HALLMARK
You can take the boy out of New York...but while he’s stuck in rural PA, 16 y/o Colby will do anything to keep his Broadway dreams alive. That is, if he’s not too distracted by the cute boy from the Christmas tree farm.

If the spirit moves you: now querying. The treats: love triangle, bratty ghost girl with unfinished business, gay pining, all queer garage band, Halloween dance in a haunted mansion, first kiss in a pumpkin patch. The story: painfully shy Theo is being haunted by the ghost of Freddie, who's the ex girlfriend of his crush Zac. To help Freddie cross over, Theo has to get friendly with Zac without letting him or Freddie know how he really feels. Matters get even more complicated when Zac starts to see Theo as more than a friend. The comps: Kate in waiting by Becky Albertalli , saint juniper's folly by Alex crespo, another first chance by Robbie couch.
