About the book
\"A sweet, sexy, honest teen romance that just happens to involve two girls—all the more charming for being so very ordinary.”—Kirkus
A Kirkus Best Book of the Year! A Chicago Public Library Best Book of the Year! A Bustle Best Young Adult Book of the Year! 3 starred reviews!
Joanna meets the perfect girl for her and must decide whether to break a promise that could change everything for her and her family or lose out on love in this charming young adult romance that’s perfect for fans of Julie Murphy’s Dumplin’ and Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
Joanna Gordon has been out and proud for years, but when her popular radio evangelist father remarries and decides to move all three of them from Atlanta to the more conservative Rome, Georgia, he asks Jo to do the impossible: to lie low for the rest of her senior year. And Jo reluctantly agrees.
Although it is (mostly) much easier for Jo to fit in as a straight girl, things get complicated when she meets Mary Carlson, the oh-so-tempting sister of her new friend at school. But Jo couldn’t possibly think of breaking her promise to her dad.
Even if she’s starting to fall for the girl. Even if there’s a chance Mary Carlson might be interested in her, too. Right?
- Forced into the Closet: Joanna has been out and proud for years. But as the new preacher's daughter in a conservative town, she has to make a deal with her dad: pretend to be straight or risk her family's reputation.
- Forbidden Romance: She's determined to keep her promise, until she meets Mary Carlson. Falling for her new friend's sister was definitely not part of the plan.
- Faith and Sexuality: A heartfelt exploration of being true to your faith, your family, and yourself—even when it feels like you have to choose.
- Preacher's Daughter: Navigating a new school and a secret crush is hard enough without your dad being a popular radio evangelist whose career depends on your silence.
