At a time when Val has a lot of questions about sex anyway-how often do normal people have it, what exactly is an orgasm, do you think homosexuality is a sin-she starts entertaining daydreams about Chloe, and worrying that she does neither her mother nor a teacher she consults (both hypothetically) can tell her if acting on such desires would be ""perverted,"" though they are reassuring about just having them. Disdain for the other, richer girls brings them together at first, and after they become good friends Val recognizes a special ""current"" between them at certain close moments. Val and Chloe meet when they are both out-of-place New Girls at a private Fast Side high school, and Val is intrigued with the more confidently nonconforming Chloe from the start-intrigued with her name even before they meet. ![]() From an author young enough to get it right without trying, a contemporary story of a friendship between two girls, Val and Chloe, and of Val's secret uncertainties about her own place in the sexual scheme of things. ![]()
