I swear if Lexie was a real person I would smack the shit out of her. Lexie is so messed-up, she actually seems to *believe* it when she says that Jinx set her up, that Jinx was the one who initiated everything because she wanted Lexie to be 'like her'. The headmaster so easily beliving Lexie's lie about it being one-sided, and putting Jinx on probation and making her see a therapist while Lexie got no punishment at all. 'The characterization is outstanding: the hurt, bewildered Jinx.

Especially in a 'prestigous' all-girls school. 183 Ratings Hope, joy, and pain intertwine in this wonderful teenage lesbian romance.Homosexuality was a lot more frowned upon then.

well, the time period after JFK was killed. I try to remind myself that this novel is set back in the. And then when people find out and it's time to do or die, what did Lexie do? She pushed it all onto Jinx, said that it was totally one-sided and that Jinx had made her uncomfortable with her crush and all this bullshit! She is THAT kind of person, that I hate: the girl who likes other girls and gets sexual with other girls, but sleeps with guys and steadfastly refuses to admit that she could possibly be queer and gets mad when it's suggested. But as the book went on, and Jinx fell for Lexie, and things started progressing, I started liking Lexie less and less.

I loved her attitude and spirit and wildness. If you didn't know better you would have no idea where it would end up! Lexie and Jinx laugh and talk and pass notes and mess around, and it's all so innocent and sweet and cute. The summary on the back of the book mentions Jinx's crush on Lexie, but the thing is that if you don't read that summary, you'd have no idea at first!! The first. I'm not really sure what to say, how to review it, without rambling like I usually do when I read such a book.įirst, let me say that I *loved* how the first part of the book was written.
