Beschreibung

In this YA contemporary queer romance from the author of Hot Dog Girl, an openly gay track star falls for a closeted, bisexual teen beauty queen with a penchant for fixing up old cars.

Morgan, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer is against her private Catholic school's code of conduct. There, she meets Ruby, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue 1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn to each other and can't deny their growing feelings. But while Morgan--out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start--doesn't want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Ruby isn't ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path toward living her truth, can they go the distance together?

Zusammenfassung

SWOONY F/F ROMANCE: Here is Jennifer Dugan's most romantic-and steamiest-YA novel to date.

AN LGBTQ STORY FROM A #OWNVOICES AUTHOR: A range of LGBTQ+ identities are represented among Morgan's Pride Club peers, and bisexual Ruby struggles against the heteronormativity of the pageant world.

HOUSE AUTHOR ON THE RISE: Both Hot Dog Girl and Verona Comics got extensive media coverage, and Dugan also has a graphic novel forthcoming with Putnam.

INSPIRATIONAL TEEN ACTIVIST CHARACTER: Morgan isn't satisfied with It Gets Better; she wants to create greater visibility for LGBTQ athletes now.

A RELATABLE TEEN CHARACTER STILL NEGOTIATING HER OWN IDENTITY: While Ruby can finally admit to herself the feelings she has denied for so long, she still needs time to decide when she is ready to come out.

TACKLES DIFFERENCES IN CLASS AND FAMILY STRUCTURE: While Morgan's family is solidly middle class, Ruby's mother is a single parent who had Ruby when she was still a teen, and they struggle to make ends meet.
