A night to remember . . .
Seventeen-year-old Theo Wright has it all figured out. His plan (well, more like his dad’s plan) is a foolproof strategy that involves excelling at his magnet school, getting scouted by college recruiters, and going to Duke on athletic scholarship. But for now, all Theo wants is a perfect prom night. After his best friend Jay dares him to prompose to his crush at Chloe Campbell’s party, Theo’s ready to throw caution to the wind and take his chances.
But when the promposal goes epically wrong, Theo seeks refuge in an empty bedroom while the party rages on downstairs. Having an existential crisis about who he really is with and without his so-called best friend wasn’t on tonight’s agenda. Though, as the night goes on, Theo finds he’s not as alone as he thinks when, one by one, new classmates join him to avoid who they’re supposed to be outside the bedroom door. Among them, a familiar acquaintance, a quiet outsider, an old friend, and a new flame . . .

Critic reviews
Praise for Right Where I Left You
“Winters sends a quiet but important message that queer Black and brown kids deserve to live happily ever after too . . . Winters weaves all of these threads—the romance, the relatable anxiety, the message—into a book that, like a crush, you won’t be able to get out of your head.”—The New York Times
“[A] bighearted friends-to-lovers romance . . . Employing a winsome queer and racially diverse cast, compassionate prose, and a joyful tone, Winters skillfully explores myriad walks of LGBTQ life.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“An enthusiastically queer story of friendship, family, and romance and the ways they empower one another.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Winters has written a classic gay romance, which is enhanced by the all-too-rare fact that both heroes pursuing a happy ending are people of color. This is one summer romance that won’t go out of season.”—Booklist, starred review
