Downloading Crooked Lines

♥ When is a best friend something more? It's January, 1997. Southern girl Ruby's crash-landed in Unionville, Pennsylvania, and the kids at school treat her like some exotic bird that's messed up its migratory pattern. Everyone laughs at her accent and her clothes except punk-rock Josie, whose ZERO shirt and Sharpie'd nails earn her identical treatment. Ruby's never had a lot of friends, and Josie loves to do her makeup, hit Denny's at midnight, and cruise around listening to music. They're quick friends. Then quick best friends. But why does Ruby feel bare-your-teeth jealous when Josie hangs out with guys? And why does Josie's slow-dance lesson with Ruby seem so... right? But Ruby and Josie both like guys. Neither is a "lezzy" — that's what popular kids call girls to really humiliate them. They're best friends. Are they more? When is a kiss just a kiss? A story of two teens sorting out their sexuality with only whispered words, Crooked Lines shows what queer and bisexual girls faced not very long ago — and how they tried to overcome it.
