內容簡介
𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙂𝙞𝙧𝙡𝙨 𝘿𝙤
by Jennifer Dugan
【些許甜蜜與苦澀提味,當代青春LGBTQ成長小說】
 
「她讓開懷大笑變得好容易,彷彿快樂本就是我生活裡的預設值,而不是某樣總難以企及的東西。」
耀眼的田徑新星Morgan因其公開的性向不見容於就讀的天主教學校,不得不在高三那年轉到新高中,從而邂逅了選美皇后Ruby,這位悉心保養她那台福特老車,身影出現在各大選美比賽的女孩,一心想活出她那強勢傳統的母親所期待的樣子。
性格迥異卻彼此吸引的兩人越走越近,直到誰都無法在否認自己懷抱的感情。然而帶著驕傲出櫃,準備在新環境勇敢展開新生活的Morgan希望公開兩人的關係。而Ruby則尚在探索自己的性別認同,同時對這段甫萌芽的戀情有自己的顧慮及掙扎。
面對尚未準備好出櫃的Ruby,一直以來幸運地擁有家人及酷兒朋友作為堅實後盾的Morgan,能否理解與她生命經驗幾乎相反的戀人?而這兩顆為彼此悸動的心,最後能否跨越重重糾結與阻礙,擁抱彼此的異同?
 
Morgan, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer is against her private Catholic school’s code of conduct. There, she meets Ruby, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue 1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn to each other and can’t deny their growing feelings. But while Morgan—out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start—doesn’t want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Ruby isn’t ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path toward living her truth, will they be able to go the distance together?
