He's It Books in Order

He's It is one of Jenny Wood's earliest connected series, and it has that new-adult feeling of everything happening all at once. The books are short, emotional, and tied together by one shared circle of friends, first loves, and messy life changes.

The series opens with He's It For Me, where Matthew is thrown out by his mother after gossip exposes the fact that he likes men. He lands at Boston State trying to figure out what comes next, and that is where Declan enters the picture. Declan is dealing with his own surprise at falling for a guy, so the first book has a lot of firsts in it, first freedom, first honest attraction, first real chance to live without pretending.

Book two, He's It For Us, turns to Meg and Ben. Their story shifts the series away from campus-only romance and toward the wider friend group, with Boston still acting as the place where people go to start over. Meg is carrying more baggage than Ben knows, which gives the book a stronger secrecy and trust storyline than the first one.

Then He's It For Nate gives another member of that orbit his own shot at love, turning a quick spark into a full romance. By that point, the appeal of the series is less about one big plot and more about watching these young characters keep bumping into the lives they are meant to have.

Everybody is young enough that every decision feels huge.

What makes the series work is its mix of sweetness and instability. These characters are leaving home, coming out, falling in love, hiding things they should probably say out loud, and trying to become adults without much practice. The tone is earnest and hopeful, with plenty of nerves underneath it.

It is also a good reminder that Wood's romance world is wider than one formula. This series includes both M/M and M/F pairings, but the emotional engine stays the same, people at a turning point, trying to be brave enough to choose honesty, love, and a future that actually fits them.
