About the Book

Junior Leila has made it through most of high school without having a crush, which is a relief. Her Persian heritage already makes her different; if word got out she liked girls, life would be even harder. But when beautiful new girl Saskia shows up, Leila starts to take risks, especially when it looks like the attraction between them is mutual. 

At Armstead Academy, everyone knows everything about everyone. Well, everyone thinks they know everything . . .

Leila has made it most of the way through Armstead Academy without having a crush on anyone, which is a relief. As an Iranian American, she’s different enough; if word got out that Leila liked girls, life would be twice as hard. But when beautiful new girl Saskia shows up, Leila starts to take risks she never thought she would. As she carefully confides in trusted friends about Saskia’s confusing signals, Leila begins to figure out that all her classmates are more complicated than they first appear to be, and some are keeping surprising secrets of their own.
