Dating in high school is hard enough, but when you’re gay? Forget it! Belinda is convinced there’s no such thing as love, until she runs into her summer fling, and thinks they may be able to rekindle their romance. But when she sees her mom walking arm in arm with a man who is not Belinda’s father, her parents’ marriage suddenly becomes the focus in her life.
