Summary

Seventeen-year-old Hannah wants to spend her senior year of high school going to football games and Mardi Gras parties. She wants to drive along the oak-lined streets of Louisiana's Garden District and lie on the hot sand of Florida's beaches. She wants to spend every night making memories with her tight-knit group of friends.

The last thing she wants is to fall in love with a girl - especially when that girl is her best friend, Baker.

Hannah knows she should like Wally, the kind, earnest boy who asks her to prom. She should cheer on her friend Clay when he asks Baker to be his girlfriend. She should follow the rules of her conservative community - the rules that have been ingrained in her since she was a child.

But Hannah longs to be with Baker, who cooks macaroni and cheese with Hannah late at night, who believes in the magic of books as much as Hannah does, and who challenges Hannah to be the best version of herself.

And Baker might want to be with Hannah, too - if both girls can embrace that world-shaking, wondrous possibility. Contains mature themes.

Not what I thought

I bought this book thinking it would be a love story between the two girls, however after the first few chapters they barely share a scene together. It's much more of a reflection on one of the characters coming out journey and struggling to come to terms with her love for her best friend, the impact on her friendship group, and her faith in relation to her sexuality. Which isn't a terrible thing, it's not poorly written (I mean, all the reflection does drag on a bit!) but ultimately not the love story or book I thought I was buying. I feel like the story I wanted to read was what happened next.

A fantastic, moving story

This was a beautiful book. The writing was at times a little disappointing but at other times absolutely beautiful. The biblical imagery used was very effective and this book spoke to me greatly as someone raised Catholic. The love story is sweet and the happy ending makes this a must read, given so many stories about gay women end in heartbreak. This book evoked so many emotions for me and I would definitely listen to it again.

A, bit heavy on religion for me but...

Bit too heavy on the religion aspect but otherwise a good rewarding and sensitive portrayal

STUNNING!!!

probably my most loved story to date. story was fantastic, all the characters story's and the narrator was brilliant. I'm not religious and although it has some parts about religion , it is by no means trying to make you believe or not believe something. It's a fanatic book and I would recommend it for anyone. listening to this book I could really feel for the characters, it gets right to your heart and you find yourself feeling there pain and happiness.
