Girl meets girl, but Jesse is "out" and her crush, Emily, requires they only meet secretly. Between that, Emily's boyfriend, and Emily's politics it seems like a match doomed to fail, but their chemistry is so intense.

The story is told in alternating viewpoints; Emily speaks to us directly in first person, while Jesse and her friend Esther's sections are in third person. Jesse is clearly our main character and we're most sympathetic toward her. I think the author chose to have Emily's section told in first person because her personality is less endearing. We need to hear her thoughts to understand her better.

In any case, all three teens have an interesting back story and complex issues to handle. I enjoyed spending time with them.
