Jude (a girl) and Noah are fraternal twins; once very close, they now hardly speak to each other. The reasons for their estrangement gradually come to light over the course of the novel through the twins' alternating voices from different points in time (Noah at thirteen, bullied for being gay; and sixteen-year-old artist Jude). A compelling meditation on love, grief, sexuality, family, and fate.

Content to shadow her high-wattage older sister throughout her seventeen years, clarinetist and secret poet Lennie is devastated when Bailey dies suddenly. Lennie's profound loss awakens unexpected new feelings, including inexplicable sexual desires. An intimate story about coping with loss, Nelson's first novel is tender, romantic, and loaded with passion.
