This is the story of two people who love each other but don't fit the norm when it comes to what people see in a normal relationship. You know, the guy getting the girl all knocked up in high school and being forced to marry her, destroying any chance of them getting into college and dropping them both in dead end jobs. You know, that kind of normal.
One girl is seen as a lesbian (but she isn't, not really, because she doesn't really know what she is)and one girl is also seen as a lesbian (but she is intersexed which means...well, that's harder to explain). If you don't know what that is, then you're going to learn a lot from this book. Be prepared, some of it isn't pretty.
The story is only unrealistic in the time scale. Everything happens in three months. That's kind of fast to decide you love somebody, want to live with them and plan to skip college while diving right into life. I'm not saying there isn't love at first sight but even the most open minded parents might warn them about going too fast. ALSO, I am not saying everybody needs to go to college but a good college can help in the long run when looking for certain jobs. But I've gone off track...
The book, punished by Lulu.com, is pretty nice, well put together, with cover art by Jade Gordan who is one of the best web artists around. Lisa Lees, the author, seems to have another book, a sequel, already planned and I do look forward to it.
