A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Robin Talley’s first novel, Lies We Tell Ourselves (2014), about two girls on the front lines of the school desegregation battle in 1959 Virginia, was short-listed for the CILIP Carnegie Medal, the inaugural winner of the Amnesty CILIP Honour, and a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. Her second young adult novel, What We Left Behind (2015), a contemporary story about love and identity, was called a “must-read” in a starred review from School Library Journal. Her newest novel, As I Descended (2016), is a retelling of Macbeth centering around a girl/girl couple who set out to take down their boarding school’s resident queen bee. In a starred review, Kirkus said, “This adaptation’s bewitching intrigues and enthralling deceptions will whet the daggers of any reader’s mind.” Robin lives in Washington, D.C., with her wife and their daughter, plus an antisocial cat and a goofy hound dog.

Quatrième de couverture :

Fifteen-year-old Aki Simon has a theory.

And it's mostly about sex.

No, it isn't that kind of theory. Aki already knows she's bisexual--even if, until now, it's mostly been in the hypothetical sense.

Aki's theory is that she's only got one shot at living an interesting life--and that means she's got to stop sitting around and thinking so much. It's time for her to actually do something. Or at least try.

So when Aki and her friend Lori set off on a trip to a small Mexican town for the summer, and Aki meets Christa--slightly-older, far-more-experienced--it seems her theory is prime for the testing.

But something tells her its not going to be that easy...
