But honestly, it's been a while so I had to get used to that. And when I got over myself, I quite enjoyed the book. Look, Dana was an a very annoying best friend imo. The homophobic people from Georgia weren't the greatest either (fuck Jessica!). But my goodness, I loved BTB, Mary Carlson & George. Not everything about this was the greatest like the plot basically being her having to hide her gay which just gives us some miscommunication and lying to have a plot. But I enjoyed the ride.

Joanna dreams of having a radio show on the station her dad does his radio sermons on. She wants to use this radio show to discuss Christianity and being queer, she is both. After her dad gets remarried, the family packs up and moves from Atlanta, Georgia to the small town of Rome, Georgia. For her protection (that she isn't aware of until later) and the reputation of her new grandparents, Joanna is asked to lay low on her sexuality for her senior year. In exchange for this, her dad will give her her radio show and let her go on a vacation with her friend without supervision. This isn't a big deal until she meets and falls in love with one of the girls at her new school.Spoiler
