Thank you so much, Eric!

I hope you enjoy the Last Boyfriends!

Thank you so much, Eric! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Typically the paperback is around a year after initial release date, so it should be sometime in May!

Thank you so much for these kind words, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it — you’re an honorary last boyfriend!

Books to Celebrate in June 2025 Celebrate Pride by reading one of the queer Southern fiction, nonfiction, and poetry books published in the first half of 2025.

Reading can be rest, resistance, and celebration all at once, so if you’re looking to add to your Pride month activities, here’s a non-exhaustive list of LGBTQ+ Southern books published in the first half of 2025.

OMG!!! My edit letter for DROP DEAD HANDSOME landed in my inbox along with the words “sparkling” and “effervescent” and “fabulous” for my third book—MY FIRST EVER FULL-ON ROMANCE 🥹🥹🥹

Oh I hope you’ll like it!!

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 Now is the perfect time to read this rebel guide to Pride! This story starts at the beginning of June with a group of rebellious teens who decide to combat hate by throwing Pride speakeasies with costumes and disco balls and fabulous defiance. 🪩✨ #booksky

I helped celebrate the 10th anniversary of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda with Becky Albertalli today, and it was so wonderful 🥹💚 — what a perfect way to ring in Pride Month!

See you soon, West Coast! 👋🏻 I’m thrilled to bring THE REBEL’S GUIDE TO PRIDE to San Diego — until then, I’ll be singing The O.C. theme song like the millennial I am ☀️😎 #booksky #sandiego

OMG… my editor emailed, and we’re starting the initial steps in the cover process for my third book DROP DEAD HANDSOME aka my Miss Congeniality inspired romcom aka the most fun I’ve had writing a book to date 😍

this may or may not be the beginning quote for my third book 👀

I braved book reviews to see what readers were saying, and I… 😭 I pulled some of my favorites so I could come back and read them for a serotonin boost when I need reminding. Thank you, thank you, thank you for loving my rebels!💚

Review: THE REBEL’S GUIDE TO PRIDE by Matthew Hubbard

School Library Journal: Hubbard’s second novel finds 17-year-old Zeke stuck in a territory all too familiar with teenagers. Part of him hangs on to his past as the star pitcher on his high school baseball team, a straight-A student on his way…

👏👏👏

I am so proud of this little husband of mine @matthewhubbard.bsky.social
