[Catherine · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sensitively written coming of age tale, where the friendship of two girls is tested when one learns the other is gay. Written almost two decades ago when this issue was far more controversial, this YA novel still works as a story where two best friends find their paths diverging while growing up and must find ways to keep their old connections alive. It was an interesting twist that the girl who is more dependent on the other is not the one I would have guessed it to be. Anyone who has faced the trauma of dealing with unforeseen changes in a cherished relationship will relate to this story.

This is a preachy conservative look at lesbianism and Christianity. I would NOT recommend this book to GLBT youth!

Quite good, despite the cover. Out of print, hard to find. There are scans on TIA:

I made an EPUB from them, in case somebody wants to read

This book has, for some reason, stayed with me even though I've never reread it. I suppose it deserves 4 stars for that. But I wonder if the book I remember is the book that Torres wrote?
