Dean O’Donnell is a wallflower with a secret and a voice that could steal the show. Preferring to blend into the background at his high school, his world tilts on its axis when he is chosen for a major solo in the upcoming Christmas choir performance. His quiet life is further disturbed when he receives a Secret Santa gift, and an unexpected friendship forms.
Ben Hunter is the boy-next-door type, well-liked but lonely. He wrestles with unspoken feelings for Dean and a family crisis that’s tearing him apart. When he takes a job at the local cinema to help his family out of a desperate situation, his academic life begins to crumble under the strain. But that’s the least of his worries.
As the holiday season unfolds, so do their feelings for each other. But with Dean’s anxiety escalating, and Ben’s life turning more chaotic, their differences seem more apparent than ever. Can they navigate their personal challenges and embrace the feelings growing between them? Or will this winter be the season of missed chances and what-ifs?
Snow Boys is a compelling LGBTQ+ young adult romance for anyone who has ever felt that coming out is hard work.

In a world where queer voices are still too often silenced, erased, or politicised, stories like Snow Boys matter more than ever. Sharing a quiet, hopeful tale of queer love isn’t just an act of creativity, it’s an act of visibility. If this story finds its way into your heart, I hope you’ll pass it on. Because every time a queer story is read, remembered, or recommended, it sends a quiet message to the world: we’re here, we matter, and we deserve to be heard.
