Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit

Perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Julie Murphy’s Dumplin’, Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit delivers a modern love story with honest and insightful depth.

Jo has been out and proud for years, but when her radio evangelist father remarries and moves all three of them to conservative Rome, Georgia, he makes an impossible request. Thinking it will help the family to better settle in, he essentially asks Jo to go back into the closet for the rest of her senior year-and Jo reluctantly agrees.

Jo’s almost immediately surprised by how much easier life becomes as a straight girl. She even gets in with the popular crowd at school-which is how she meets the tempting Mary Carlson. But Jo couldn’t possibly think of breaking her promise to her dad. Even if she’s starting to fall for Mary Carlson. Even if there’s a chance Mary Carlson might be interested in her, too. Right
