From the acclaimed author of Lies We Tell Ourselves comes an empowering YA novel of what happens when love may not be enough to conquer all.
Toni and Gretchen are the couple everyone envied in high school. When they go off to different collegesâToni to Harvard and Gretchen to NYUâtheyâre sure theyâll be fine. Where other long-distance relationships have fallen apart, theirs is bound to stay rock-solid. The reality of being apart, though, is very different than they expected.
Toni, who identifies as genderqueer, meets a group of transgender upperclassmen and immediately finds a sense of belonging that has always been missing. Gretchen, meanwhile, struggles to remember who she is outside their relationship. As distance and Toniâs shifting gender identity begin to wear on their relationship, the couple must decideâhave they grown apart for good, or is love enough to keep them together?
