Boys In Makeup Books in Order

Boys In Makeup is a young adult to new adult leaning contemporary series with a lively social world and a very clear sense of place. The books circle around queer nightlife, close friendships, self-expression, and the kind of found family that forms when friends become the people who really see you.

The stories are connected by tone as much as plot. In Pretty Perfect, Pretty Sweet, and Pretty Wild, the leads are funny, messy, vulnerable, and very aware of how presentation can be both armor and freedom. The club setting keeps things bright and playful, but the emotional core is real. These books care about healing from old damage, figuring out what kind of relationship you actually want, and learning that being loud on the outside does not always mean feeling secure on the inside.

If you like romance with banter, style, and a strong friend group running through the background, this series is easy to sink into. It is flirty and fun, but it always makes room for softness too.
