Maddie Graham didn't expect love to be the most complicated part of saving the planet.
She's on a mission to ban single-use plastics in her high school cafeteria before junior year ends. When she gives a rambling, awkward pitch for the Environmental Club at the end of calculus class, she hopes for one or two new members.
She doesn't expect Shoshana Messing, the confidently smart, gorgeous girl Maddie's been crushing on all semester, to join. Shoshana shows up at the first meeting just to sit next to Maddie, and soon she's texting late at night, asking to hang out, making Maddie feel like the only person in existence.
But Maddie is still hiding from her conservative pastor father, who's already hinting at setting her up with a "good Christian boy" after graduation. As her and Shoshana's relationship grows, so do the risks and the lies.
Can Maddie fight for what she believes in if she's too afraid to live her truth?
