Holland was very 2 dimensional and her thoughts were a tad bit questionable. Though, this could be because I live in a bluer than the sky state and that shit would never been tolerated here. Although this stuff may still happened, it just seemed extreme. Since this was published in 2005, it definitely seemed outdated such as the homophobia graffiti, lockers, slashing tires, the language in general. I was bored most of the time and I was close to DNFing the book. I understand this was published in 2005 but it just wasn’t engaging and I didn’t care what happens in the story because I already knew the ending. This is your generic coming out story of a popular beloved high school girl with the equally popular boyfriend but then this new girl shows up and shakes the female protagonist world and discovers her true sexuality. With her characteristic humor and breezy style, Peters has captured the compelling emotions of My young love. Cece and Holland have undeniable feelings for each other, but how will others react to their developing relationship? This moving love story between two girls is a worthy successor to Nancy Garden’s classic young adult coming out novel, Annie on My Mind. But when Cece Goddard comes to school, everything changes. With a steady boyfriend, the position of Student Council President, and a chance to go to an Ivy League college, high school life is just fine for Holland Jaeger.
