With a steady boyfriend, the position of Student Council President, and a chance to go to an Ivy League college, high school life is just fine for Holland Jaeger. At least, it seems to be.

But when Cece Goddard comes to school, everything changes. Cece and Holland have undeniable feelings for each other, but how will others react to their developing relationship?

This moving love story is for fans of Nancy Garden's classic young adult coming out novel, Annie on My Mind. With her characteristic humor and breezy style, Peters has captured the compelling emotions of young love.

“These are likable young women; readers will warm to their situation and cheer Holland's breaking free.” —The Bulletin

“Captivating ... Not just a gay love story, this book transcends barriers, allowing readers of all persuasions to revel in its universal truths ... Anyone who has ever fallen in love will recognize themselves.” —VOYA
