A queer YA romance sizzling with chemistry by Kelly Quindlen, bestselling author of She Drives Me Crazy. Perfect for fans of Lex Croucher and Laura Kay.

When Louisa unexpectedly inherits a struggling gay bar from her late great-uncle, she’s determined to keep it open for the vibrant queer community that calls it home.

Louisa’s mission puts her on a collision course with Aubrey: the pretty, popular, and sharp-tongued daughter of their college town's newly crowned football coach. The girls start off on the wrong foot, but a tentative truce leads to a growing spark . . .

Things threaten to sputter out when the bar faces an existential threat from Aubrey’s dad, who plans to turn it into a sports facility.

How much is Louisa willing to lose in the fight for her new found family?
