4.5 out of 5
I have
wanted to read this book ever since I learned about it in one of my library
classes. This is considered the first YA homosexual based novel featuring a
positive attitude. Even as a heterosexual
female, I loved it immediately and actually finished it in one day. I really
believe Garden provided a great insight to the reactions and consequences
homosexual teens may face, especially for the time written (32 years ago). Although
teen homosexuality is more accepted now, this book can be viewed as timeless
and should be read by teen girls who may be questioning their own sexuality or
are aware they are gay; as well as any females that enjoy a great quick read.
Being a
lesbian herself, she has written a lot of novels on the subject. Her website is
