(4) YA Holland is already taxed, especially by her overbearing mother, when she finds herself attracted to a girl for the first time. The novel's wooing period is too drawn out, and the out-and-proud Cece's motivation for concealing her relationship with Holland is unconvincing. Peters's characters are well drawn, however; their humor rings true, and the portrait of parental homophobia and Holland's ensuing homelessness seem heartbreakingly realistic.
