Hot Mess at the End of the Rainbow

By David Lagattuta Jr.

A small-town queer rom-com full of glitter, goats, and a grumpy-sunshine slow burn

Ethan Cole's life just hit rock bottom... and landed in a pile of rainbow bunting. Fired from his job in the most embarrassing way possible, he retreats to his hometown, Willow Creek-only to be ambushed into helping organize its first-ever Pride Parade. His partner in parade crime? Leo Vega: tattooed, maddeningly attractive, and about as talkative as a brick wall.

It should be simple: decorate a few floats, wrangle the budget, survive the occasional goat escape. But between Leo's disarming charm, the meddling of the town's self-appointed queen of gossip, and one smug ex determined to steal the spotlight, Ethan's summer turns into a whirlwind of glitter explosions, unexpected kisses, and late-night confessions.

As parade day looms, Ethan must decide if he's just here for the event-or if he's ready to stick around for something real.

Perfect for fans of Casey McQuiston and Alexis Hall, Hot Mess at the End of the Rainbow delivers:

Found family and small-town shenanigansA grumpy-sunshine romance with serious slow-burn payoffLaugh-out-loud banter and heartfelt momentsMore glitter than the human body should be able to handle

Get ready to fall in love-confetti, chaos, and all.
