It's the summer before senior year. Claire Kemp, a closeted bisexual, is finally starting to admit she might be falling in love with her best friend, Sophia. At her job in the local nursing home, she meets Lena, an eighty-year-old lesbian woman, who tells her stories about what it was like growing up gay in the 1950s and 60s. As Claire becomes more confident in her identity, she is caught between two loves: Sophia, and Pen, a new girl. -- adapted from jacket
