Description
A groundbreaking young adult novel that explores the tender, complex relationship between two teenage girls navigating first love in a world that doesn't always understand them. When Liza meets Annie at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, an unexpected connection blossoms into something deeper—a love that challenges both girls to question societal expectations and discover their authentic selves. Set against the backdrop of New York City, the story unfolds through alternating perspectives as Liza and Annie's relationship deepens, only to face a crisis that tests the strength of their bond and forces them to confront prejudice head-on. Nancy Garden's sensitive and honest portrayal of teenage lesbian love was revolutionary for its time, offering young readers a rare and affirming representation of LGBTQ+ identity. This enduring classic remains a powerful testament to the courage it takes to love authentically and the transformative power of acceptance.
