Available Now: Be Straight With Me by Emily Dalton

Emily Dalton’s debut Be Straight With Me, a memoir-in-verse that recounts how she and her male gay best friend Max unexpectedly fell in love in college, has published!

Based on Emily’s award-winning senior thesis project at Middlebury College, Be Straight With Me offers a New Adult audience a portrait of falling in love, despite sexuality and gender, through the lens of a young girl trying to find her place in a world dictated by masculinity.

Max and Emily’s incredible journey takes many forms, all in the name of “this bizarre, beautiful thing” they call love.
