Out lesbian Jesse is so head-over-heels in love with closeted bisexual Emily, student council vice president, that she agrees to keep their relationship a secret. But Esther, a teenage political activist, awakens a true political spirit in Jesse. The narrative alternates among all three girls' points of view. The characters' political lives make this contribution to GLBTQ teen literature memorable.

Meghan Ball is the fat girl nobody notices. She's hyper-aware, a keen observer of her classmates. Too-skinny Aimee Zorn is a talented poet who's seriously anorexic. After learning that Meghan's ex-friend plagiarized one of Aimee's poems, the two plan the girl's comeuppance. George's writing is sharp and insightful, and her treatment of eating disorders never devolves into sermonizing or stereotypes.
