Ophelia Rojas is in her senior year of high school. She is well known for gardening, wearing floral clothing, and her crushes on boys. And then she feels attracted to a girl and doesn't know how to reconcile that with her identity.
Ophelia makes some poor choices that had me shaking my head. But for the most part, her story made sense for the maturity of a high school student. And her friend circle is an interesting group facing the end of high school and transition to college.
This is an especially great book for adolescents who are finding themselves. I appreciated the many definitions of different types of sexuality and the discussion that it's okay not to have a clear label. I expect this is one that I will be stocking in my LFL frequently, as I think it can help lots of teens.
Thank you to BookishFirst and the publisher for the finished copy.
