"A funny, imaginative, and heart-warming look at teen life, growing up gay, and two young women that deal with it in totally different ways."
Charlotte's perfect girlfriend lives on the top shelf of her closet. Oh, the irony!
When Charlotte's best friend dumps her for boys and beer parties, she locks her bedroom door and starts to draw. She's tried to fit in, but it isn't a boy she wants. If only Autumn were real instead of just a pile of drawings that she's been hiding from her mother.
Charlotte knows Autumn isn't real; she does! It's just that she's fallen in love with the idea of having a secret girlfriend. Someone special to talk to that really understands her. But when Autumn starts talking back, things get...confusing?
Then one morning a beautiful redhead sits down next to Charlotte in English class, and hiding in the closet gets a whole lot more complicated. Lilly Roberts has the same blue eyes, the same tantalizingly long legs, and the same heart-stopping smile as the girl in Charlotte's drawings. She's Charlotte's dream girl come to life.
Except, the new girl isn't perfect. Nope. Not even close!
But maybe, just maybe, Charlotte's perfect girlfriend isn't a fantasy at all. Maybe she's someone who has been there all along and just happens to be perfect for Charlotte. Autumn thinks so, and she's never wrong.
"Heartfelt and so funny! I thought I had outgrown YA books, but this one brought me right back."
"What an amazing story with such an original concept!"
"Raw, funny, and occasionally painful. I loved all the stuff going on in Charlotte's head."
"The dialogue shines, especially between mother and daughter...a perfect story about imperfect characters. So very good!!!"
"One of the best reads I've had in a long time! Profound, real, and raw to the core."
"This book didn't go where I thought it would, but damn it was a good story."
"A great coming of age dramedy about coping, coming out, and finding that one person that makes it all worthwhile."
"I loved this book! A well written story about two teenagers journey to accept their sexuality." LGBTQ+ Literature & Fiction Romance Fiction Funny Heartfelt

the storyline. I really do not like the virtual voice. there is no emotion in the voices, no change in the different characters.
