"How do you say what you can't explain?...Things may be changing, but this change feels like too much. What happens when you tell the girls who trust and love you that you realized that you sometimes looked at them the way they expect boys do?"-Ophelia After All
Ophelia After All is a beautiful story about a girl who is finding herself in the midst of her senior year of high school. It takes place in the final months of high school, when colleges have been chosen and The Prom is on everyone's minds. Who will be going with who? Ophelia especially wants answers to this question.
Everyone in her life know her for two things, her penchant for gardening and being "boy crazy". But as Ophelia navigates through the last months of her senior year, she has to figure out who she really is, especially as new relationships and friendships bloom like the roses she is so fond of tending to.
The writing in this story really captivated me as we really got a glimpse into Ophelia's brain as she went through the turmoil and struggle of figuring our her identity and desires, her denial, confusion, and fear of rejection, and overall coming to terms with who she is as a person.
