"She looked up, a slightly relieved expression on her face. 'What I mean to say is that I very occasionally glanced in your direction in an all but dreamy manor.' She said, her posture becoming stiff. Her eyes were closed and her expression dignified, but I could plainly see that she was holding her breath."

'"Who knew you had some sass to you?' I smirked at her. 'Maybe there's hope for you yet."'

Dayna Bronca was completely, absolutely and positively straight. There was no trace of rainbow in her bones. Sure, she'd probably absolutely kiss a girl if given a chance, but she was still straight as a ruler. Just because she constantly found herself staring at the gorgeous (and very much out) Lacey Kennon, and just because she was hopelessly in love with Lacey (who she'd talked to once in her life) didn't make her any less straight.

Lacey Kennon knew that Dayna wasn't out. She also knew that Dayna constantly stared at her during class, and sometimes, she back back when Dayna wasn't looking. She knew that the other girl probably had a crush on her to rival the combined love of both of her exes. But would she ever build up the courage to ask Dayna out?

That doesn't describe all that happens in this book. This isn't a fantastical, perfect romance between teens. This is a story about two broken teenagers finding out who they are, and helping each-other heal along the way.
