Perfect for fans of Angie Thomas and Jason Reynolds, this highly anticipated sequel to Lambda Literary Award finalist Pritty finds Jay and Leroy togetha again as they fight to save not only their home but themselves from the powerful Bainbridge family's treacherous endgame to retake Savannah for themselves, no matter the cost.

After finally reuniting, Jay and Leroy have never been in more danger. Caught in the crosshairs of the affluent Bainbridge family, who they've learned is determined to reshape Savannah in their own image, the duo has only just survived a series of near-death experiences before reaching the safety of the Black Diamonds. But the BDs' ability to protect the Black neighborhoods of their city is slipping....

Missing the key piece of evidence that could have broken the Bainbridges' hold over Savannah, everyone is scrambling for options. But when one of their own is kidnapped, Jay and Leroy realize they can't rely on anyone but themselves to save them. Recruiting old friends, former enemies, and their most risky ally, Jay's once-upon-a-time crush, Will, they set out to do the impossible: find the evidence they lost in order to finally expose the Bainbridges' corruption to the world, by any means necessary.

But even as their plans bring them closer to revealing the Bainbridges' treacherous endgame, Jay and Leroy's own secrets from each other threaten to pull their love apart, just as old feelings between Jay and Will begin to blossom again. And as the battle for a brighter future boils over into the streets, to save their homes—and everyone they love—Jay, Leroy, and Will must decide: When the cost of justice might be each of their happiness, will they be able to make the sacrifice togetha?

      This timely follow-up to 2023'sPritty uncovers more of the elaborate political conspiracy targeting Black, queer, working-class communities, while casting gang life and masculinity in a whole new light. Boyfriends Leroy and Jay had finally figured out how to make their romance work when they were nearly killed. This sequel picks up in the wake of that close call. The teens are determined to bring down the Bainbridges, a powerful local family with political aspirations who have secretly been behind the rise in gang violence in Savannah, Georgia. The Bainbridges' efforts have turned the media against the BDs, or Black Diamonds, sowing division within their ranks and even leading to the creation of a gang whose sole purpose is finishing the group off. While Jay plans to utilize his love-letter writing business to undermine the Bainbridges' network and gather evidence of their wrongdoing, Leroy commits more fully to the BDs, revealing a refreshingly progressive and restorative version of the group that's more in line with historical grassroots Black activism. The first-person narration shifts among the points of view of the two lovers plus another boy, Will, manifesting a complicated love triangle--and eventually a queer quadrilateral--alongside the high-stakes politicking. Love is messy. Gang violence is real. But by story's end, the young men's intimacy and tenderness are offered plainly as a path toward healing and liberation. A masterclass in love for those who feel unlovable.(Fiction. 13-18)
