Description

In the wake of her death, Alix discovers her girlfriend led a double life in this twisty novel from the author of National Book Award finalist Luna.

"Peters has written another insightful, absorbing novel of relationships that is both emotionally and intellectually satisfying... This will have widespread appeal to both gay and straight readers and is another strong offering from a well-established, popular author." -- Booklist

When Alix's charismatic girlfriend, Swanee, dies from sudden cardiac arrest, Alix is overcome with despair. As she searches Swanee's room for mementos of their relationship, she finds Swanee's cell phone, pinging with dozens of texts sent from a mysterious contact, L.T. The most recent text reads: "Please tell me what I did. Please, Swan. Te amo. I love you."

Shocked and betrayed, Alix learns that Swanee has been leading a double life -- secretly dating a girl named Liana the entire time she's been with Alix. Alix texts Liana from Swanee's phone, pretending to be Swanee in order to gather information before finally meeting face-to-face to break the news.

Brought together by Swanee's lies, Alix and Liana become closer than they thought possible. But Alix is still hiding the truth from Liana. Alix knows what it feels like to be lied to -- but will coming clean to Liana mean losing her, too?

In this compelling novel about relationships, trust, romance, and loss, Julie Anne Peters once again explores the complexities of modern teen relationships.

"This book tenderly explores themes of loss and forgiveness... Peters capably addresses teen LGBT relationships without making them the story's sole preoccupation."?Publishers Weekly

"In Peters's newest offering, questions of love and honesty abound... This book does not focus on sexuality, and it's a pleasure to read a typical teen romance that just happens to be between two girls." -- School Library Journal
