All Pen wants is to be the kind of girl she’s always been. So why
does everyone have a problem with it? They think the way she looks
and acts means she’s trying to be a boy—that she should quit
trying to be something she’s not. If she dresses like a girl, and
does what her folks want, it will show respect. If she takes orders
and does what her friend Colby wants, it will show her loyalty.
But respect and
loyalty, Pen discovers, are empty words. Old-world parents,
disintegrating friendships, and strong feelings for other girls drive
Pen to see the truth—that in order to be who she truly wants to be,
she’ll have to man up.
Perfect for fans of
Meredith Russo, Becky Albertalli, Alex Sanchez, and Jaye Robin Brown!
