Book Overview

In 1978 Sandra Scoppettone, who would soon become one of America's most well-known mystery writers, created this story of Peggy and Jaret, two high school girls madly in love but unsure of their sexuality who find themselves the target of a violent plot to punish them for their relationship.

Two Teenage Girls in Love

Two teenage girls in love deal with their sexuality and society's perceptions of their love in this novel. It's funny how this book was written years ago, and yet the same incidents could happen now. Jaret and Peggy were very engaging. Their love was realistic and showed in the pages of the book. So honest was this book that I found myself holding my breath during the attack. No one should be victimized like that, no matter what her sexual orientation is. This book just points out the injustices gays face with every day.

Well written...

I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting to read a book about teens that doesn't conform to the usual stereotypes of boy meets girl, etc. Not only that, it was also very powerful in terms of expressing the emotions that the characters felt. This is definitely one of my favourite books and I think that teens regardless of their sexuality (I'm straight) should try and read it at some point or other.

Book Summery

It's about 2 young high school students who through a serious of events fall in love and start dating. They keep their relationship hidden but soon they are discovered and they try to deal with all the negative consequences of being gay in a hostile town.

Wonderful Book for young womyn

I read this book when I first thought I might be a lesbian. This book left a deep impact on me and I have never found a book so powerful, sad, and so easily relateable.
