There's actually a lot I appreciate about the book, even setting aside the part where it's a mythical trifecta book. Possible Lesbian #3, or Miggin.actually, let me put it in the words of Jinx (ellipses in original): And it didn't seem weird and strange, it didn't seem like a crush, it seemed like two friends who are so close, who love each other so much, they're.they're like sisters (216). Jinx is madly in love with Lexie but isn't sure what that means for her sexuality (or anything else), which is perfectly reasonable except that she doesn't care that Lexie is crazy. Lexie, Possible Lesbian #1, is bona fide crazy even Jinx (Possible Lesbian #2) admits it. Ditto anything that happened in the 1960s. The boarding school is, alas, decidedly backdrop, despite how much of the action happens on campus. If this book hadn't been published well before my birth, I would say that it was written with me in mind: boarding school! Possible lesbians! 1960s historical fiction! It's a freaking trifecta book*, which are about as rare as unicorns.īut, well.
