![]() (Chloe also calls another unhip lesbian character retarted several times. Meanwhile Ava isn’t sure who she wants to be. She is still in love with Chloe, but Chloe clearly only likes Ava when Ava acts the way Chloe wants her to. She’s free to make herself over as a pink wearing boy-crazy book nerd who is passionate about the school musical. Gone are the pretentious trappings and chic clothes of her ‘too cool for school’ girlfriend Chloe and her lesbian clique. The story starts when Ava transfers to another school so she can reinvent herself completely. Yet it suffers from the same problem as other YA novels I’ve discussed in the past - it never uses the word bisexual. This Austrialian YA novel may be one of the best books I’ve ever read about internalized biphobia. ![]()
