About this ebook
A young adult sapphic novel full of compelling introspection and painfully honest commentary on what it’s like to be harnessed to a destiny you never wanted.
“Frank and honest.”—School Library Journal
Hopuonk, Massachusetts, 1999
Taylor Garland’s good looks have earned her the admiration of everyone in her small town. She’s homecoming queen, the life of every party, and on every boy’s most-wanted list.
People think Taylor is living the dream, and they assume she’ll stay in town and have kids with the homecoming king—maybe even become a dental hygienist, if she’s super ambitious. But Taylor is actually desperate to leave home, and she hates the smell of dentists’ offices. Also? She’s completely in love with her best friend, Susan.
Senior year is almost over, and everything seems perfect. Now Taylor just has to figure out how to throw it all away.
