Publisher's summary

Charlotte already knows what her perfect girlfriend would look like; she has boxes filled with drawings of her fantasy girl hidden on the top shelf of her closet. She's aware of the irony, she just isn't ready to tell everyone she's gay.
Then one morning a beautiful redhead sits down next to her in English class, and staying in the closet suddenly gets a whole lot harder. Lilly Roberts has the same blue eyes, the same tantalizingly long legs, and the same heartbreaking smile as the girl in Charlotte's drawings. She's Charlotte's dream-girl come to life.
But fantasies never work out the way you hope they will, and the new girl isn't perfect. Not even close!
But maybe, just maybe, Charlotte's perfect girlfriend has been right there beside her all along.

"What an amazing story with such an original concept! The dialogue shines, especially between mother and daughter...a perfect story about imperfect characters. So very good!!!"

"Funny, raw, and sometimes painful. I loved all the stuff going on in Charlotte's head."

"Heartfelt and so funny! I thought I had outgrown YA books, but this one brought me right back."

"This book didn't go where I thought it would, but damn it was a good story."

"An imaginative and poignant look at teen life, growing up gay, and two young women that deal with it in totally different ways. Their coming t
ogether made for the perfect ending."

"A great coming of age dramedy about coping, coming out, and finding that one person that makes it all worthwhile."

"I loved this book! A well written story about two teenagers journey to accept their sexuality."

"One of the best reads I've had in a long time! Profound, real, and raw to the core."
