by Sara Ryan (Author)

A LAMBADA BOOK AWARD FINALIST - A secluded summer camp filled with brilliant minds and intense emotions sets the stage for an unforgettable queer coming-of-age novel.

"Both controversial and long-awaited, this helps to fill a need that is painfully obvious and introduces a wonderful new voice."--Kirkus Reviews

"I love this this book. Utterly brilliant, utterly beautiful."--Lauren Myracle, author of TTYL and TTFN

Nicola Lancaster is spending the summer at the Siegel Institute Summer Program for Gifted Youth--a hothouse of smart, articulate, intense teenagers. Nic's had theater friends and orchestra friends, but never just friend friends. And she's certainly never had a relationship. But on the very first day, she falls in with Katrina the Manic Computer Chick, Isaac the Nice-Guy-Despite-Himself . . . and Battle. Battle Hall Davies, a beautiful blonde dancer from North Carolina, is everything Nic isn't. Soon the two are friends--and then, startlingly, more than friends. What do you do when you think you're attracted to guys, and then you meet a girl who steals your heart?

Continue the story in Rules for Hearts, where a vibrant summer unfolds as Battle Hall Davies finds herself immersed in the quirky found family dynamics of Forest House.
