Why fall in love if you have to keep it a secret? 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. That is until Cece Goddard comes to school...Cece and Holland develop undeniable feelings for one another, but how will others react to their burgeoning relationship? This moving love story between two girls is the worthy successor to Nancy Garden's classic coming out novel, Annie on my Mind. With Peter's usual humour and breezy style this is a compelling read.
