Über dieses E-Book
In this YA contemporary queer romance from the author of Hot Dog Girl, an openly gay track star falls for a closeted, bisexual teen beauty queen with a penchant for fixing up old cars.
“Earnest, wistful, romantic, and real.” —Casey McQuiston, New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue
Morgan, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer is against her private Catholic school's code of conduct. There, she meets Ruby, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue 1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn to each other and can't deny their growing feelings. But while Morgan--out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start--doesn't want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Ruby isn't ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path toward living her truth, can they go the distance together?
“Beautiful, necessary, and completely irresistible.” —Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

Wild und was fürs Herz - Die Geschichte ist packend und nachvollziehbar und außerdem was fürs Herz. Nachdem Ruby alles macht, was ihre Mutter von ihr verlangt, muss Ruby lernen, sich von diesem Zwang zu lösen und ihr eigenes Leben leben. Morgan, die strickt nach ihren eigenen Prinzipien lebt, muss lernen, dass die nicht für alle Menschen gelten können. Die beiden Charaktere machen also eine tolle Entwicklung durch. Und es war spannend, sie dabei zu begleiten. Von mir eine klare Leseempfehlung.
