Mark and Kate are both at a crossroads: Mark is in love with his best friend and he doesn't know how much longer he can go without being true to his feelings; Kate is in love with a girl she has never met and she is finally getting ready to meet her for the very first time.

Interestingly enough, Kate and Mark's paths cross when they least expect them to. It's Pride Week in San Francisco and Mark is at a club with Ryan and he is trying to get the courage to tell Ryan how he feels for real this time. No more making out behind closed doors, he is in this for real this time. He is soon talked into stripping down to his undies and getting on top of the bar and dancing, but to his horror, when he looks into the crowd, he sees a girl from his school: Kate.

Kate is at the very same bar because she is too terrified to meet Violet; her very best friend's cousin. Instead of staying at the party with her friends, she walks out the door and doesn't look back. She finds herself in the same bar as Mark and the two form a friendship over their own heartbreak and turmoil.

Kate is ready for a change, and she is feels like it is divine intervention that Mark, who she has calculus with but never spoken to, is here in the same bar. After a whirlwind night, the pair find themselves both in the spotlight online and at school.

As the two navigate the new world they are living in, they both struggle with staying true to what their hearts want, and what is in actuality able to happen for them.

I found this to be a very easy read. Alternating chapters give you insight from Mark and Kate's point of view. As a Bay Area resident, I was able to picture and feel San Francisco as I read. There is some teenage drinking, and talk of sex, but overall a solid read for teens that interested in realistic fiction, especially LGBTQ themed stories. Both authors do a tremendous job of tackling tough issues with relationships and family, peer pressure, and issues between friends. I only gave this three stars because despite flying through it, it felt like there were some holes as I was reading. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it felt as if something was missing some of the time.

Overall a good choice for libraries where LGBTQ fiction and/or realistic fiction circulates.
