Talleys newest is sure to satisfy. Kirkus Reviews Fifteen-year-old Aki Simon has a theory. And its mostly about sex. No, it isnt that kind of theory. Aki already knows shes bisexual-even if, until now, its mostly been in the hypothetical sense. Akis theory is that shes only got one shot at living an interesting life-and that means shes got to stop sitting around and thinking so much. Its time for her to actually do something. Or at least try. So when Aki and her friend Lori set off on a trip to a small Mexican town for the summer, and Aki meets Christa-slightly-older, far-more-experienced-it seems her theory is prime for the testing. But something tells her its not going to be that easy
