Summary | "As the tomboy daughter of the towns preacher, Billie McCaffrey has always struggled with fitting the mold of what everyone says she should be. Shed rather wear sweats, build furniture, and get into trouble with her solid group of friends: Woods, Mash, Davey, Fifty, and Janie Lee. But when Janie Lee confesses to Billie that shes in love with Woods, Billies filled with a nagging sadness as she realizes that she is also in love with Woodsand maybe with Janie Lee, too. Always considered 'one of the guys,' Billie doesnt want anyone slapping a label on her sexuality before she can understand it herself. So she keeps her conflicting feelings to herself, for fear of ruining the group dynamic. Except its not just about keeping the peace, its about understanding love on her termsthis thing that has always been defined as a boy and a girl falling in love and living happily ever after. For Billiea box-defying dynamoits not that simple. Readers will be drawn to Billie as she comes to terms with the gray areas of love, gender, and friendship, in this John Hughes-esque exploration of sexual fluidity." -- Amazon. |
