Description

This book explores the complexities of relationships and teenage sexuality through Katherine's and Michael's relationship. The two high school students grow in their relationship with one another, then, after having sex together for the first time they decide their relationship is forever. Their relationship is put to the test when summer work takes them apart and Katherine finds herself attracted to another man.

The book has been challenged and banned from many schools due to its sexual content, implied homosexuality of one of the characters, and because Katherine uses the birth control pill. Challenges to this book often come from religious and pro-abstinence groups.
