About this listen

Seventeen-year-old Hannah wants to spend her senior year of high school going to football games and Mardi Gras parties. She wants to drive along the oak-lined streets of Louisiana's Garden District and lie on the hot sand of Florida's beaches. She wants to spend every night making memories with her tight-knit group of friends.

The last thing she wants is to fall in love with a girl - especially when that girl is her best friend, Baker.

Hannah knows she should like Wally, the kind, earnest boy who asks her to prom. She should cheer on her friend Clay when he asks Baker to be his girlfriend. She should follow the rules of her conservative community - the rules that have been ingrained in her since she was a child.

But Hannah longs to be with Baker, who cooks macaroni and cheese with Hannah late at night, who believes in the magic of books as much as Hannah does, and who challenges Hannah to be the best version of herself.

And Baker might want to be with Hannah, too - if both girls can embrace that world-shaking, wondrous possibility. Contains mature themes.

Trigger warning for the homophobic hate some characters exhibit in their religious school environment so it was tough to listen to. All the while was apprehensive but glad I finished it. Can’t say more coz of spoilers.

Tough listen but not for what you’d think

This was such a beautifully written story. It renewed my faith on so many different levels and made me feel things that have been dormant in my heart for such a long time. Heartbreakingly beautiful and honest and full of wisdom. Don’t pass it up.

Oh my heart

This is a terrific coming of age novel addressing some of the big issues facing kids who belong to Christian communities and are dealing with same sex attraction. It is a bit slow to get going but the characters are well drawn and the faith issues are sensitively and honestly dealt with. There is hope here, with a message to work through the inevitable fear and shame.

Great YA novel for questioning Christians and family
