A trailblazing debut

Nicola Lancaster is spending her summer at the Siegel Institute, a hothouse of smart, intense teenagers. She soon falls in with Katrina (Manic Computer Chick), Isaac (Nice-Guy-Despite-Himself), Kevin (Inarticulate Composer) . . . and Battle, a beautiful blond dancer. The two become friends--and then, startlingly, more than friends. What do you do when you think you're attracted to guys, and then you meet a girl who steals your heart? LGBTQ+ Literature & Fiction Romance Heartfelt

Critic reviews

"Both controversial and long-awaited, this helps to fill a need that is painfully obvious and introduces a wonderful new voice." -Kirkus Reviews

This was my favorite book growing up. I first read it when I was 14-years-old, I'm now 36. It was the first wlw book I read and I changed my life. I love the story and the theme. However, the narrator was a bit disappointing. She sounded entirely too child like. I get it, they're teenagers, but her voice was too high pitched. I only finished listening to it because I love the story. I had to stop mid way because it annoyed me. I'm sorry! I have too many feelings about this book and my review is entirely biased.

What a bummer.
