Everyone loves sparkly boys who love unicorns and glitter. But no one ever takes them seriously. I've watched it happen to friends all the time. But they're amazing, fun, wonderful characters to write. The book is titled "Fabulous Boys in Unicorn Shirts," and when two high school boys are snarking at each other using lines from "Vogue," we've all won.
