Devon’s grandmother dies suddenly, and while she mourns her she meets Rebecca Washington and instantly falls in love. Whether its her sexuality keeping them apart, or her race, Devon is willing to fight for her love.
Publisher’s Description:
Devon Raines, sixteen-year old journalism nerd, was happily minding her own business when wham, her life was turned upside down. She struggled with grief when her grandmother died from a sudden heart attack. But it was at her grandmother’s wake that she locked eyes with the most beautiful black girl she’d ever seen. Rebecca Washington was the most beautiful girl she’d ever seen, period. Would this beautiful dancer freak out if she knew Devon was gay and attracted? Enter Jessie Crowler, Rebecca’s basketball playing best friend. Or were they only friends? Devon tried to hide her attraction for the ebony dancer, but would fate allow Rebecca to look her way? Would Jessie get in the way? Would the difference in skin color keep them apart? All this adds up to quite an undertaking in Devon’s formerly quiet existence.
