Theoretically Straight

Theo Briggs is a rule follower. He's a decent student in his junior year, an appeasing son, and a lifelong Christian, just trying to make it through high school unscathed… and maybe create a viral video in the process. Caleb Raynard is a romantic. One of the few out-and-proud kids at Specter High School, Caleb's dating life has been hellish, to say the least-fraught with misread social cues and embarrassing situations-and Caleb is about ready to call the whole thing off. When Theo and Caleb meet in the basement of an old Catholic church that's rumored to be haunted, an instant and electric connection forms between them. The more time Theo spends around Caleb, the more he suspects that something may have followed him home from that haunted church. But was it a ghost… or something else entirely? It can't be a crush. Theo is straight, right? As Theo and Caleb find themselves drawn together at every opportunity, the two must overcome their own hesitations and decide if the feelings they have for one another are stronger than the obstacles set in their way.

Theo Briggs just wants to be perfect. The perfect son. The perfect friend. The perfect boyfriend. But the harder he tries to keep up appearances, the more difficult juggling all of those expectations becomes. Where Theo usually turns to his faith for comfort, he now finds confusion and apathy. Caleb Raynard finally has the boyfriend of his dreams. His and Theo's relationship may have gotten off to a rocky start, but now that they're settling into the realities of dating, surely things must be looking up? But something haunts Theo, driving an invisible wedge between them, and Caleb is desperate to figure out what it is. When tensions flare during a tour of a haunted hotel, Theo must decide if he's ready to let down the walls he's constructed his entire life and allow Caleb to view the imperfection behind. And if he does peel away those layers, will Caleb still be able to love the boy underneath it all? Theo and Caleb steer their relationship through doubts of faith, tested friendships, and self-discovery in this continuation of Theoretically Straight.
