(2) YA John and Marisol have a lot in common: both have issues with trust and truth-telling, both have problem parents, and both like girls. It's zine writing, though, that brings them together. All goes well with their friendship until John professes his love for Marisol, who's made it clear she's a lesbian. Readers won't mind the teen flick cast and will be pulled along by the story and by the pages of zine excerpts, handwritten poems, and letters.
