About this listen
KIRKUS STARRED REVIEW: "A moving and romantic coming-out story and a triumphant celebration of lesbian liberation."
GOLD MEDAL IPPY AWARD—Young Adult Fiction
Tracy should have been a boy. Even her older brother Spencer says so, though he wouldn’t finish the thought with, “And I should have been a girl.”
Though both feel awkward in their own skin, they have to face who they are—queers in the late '60s.
When both are caught with gay partners, their lives and futures are endangered by their homophobic father as their mother struggles to defend them.
While the Vietnam War threatens to take Spencer away, Tracy and her father wage a war of their own, each trying to save the sweet, talented pianist.
At 17, Tracy dresses as a boy and leaves her parents in turmoil, with only the slimmest hope of finding peace within herself. She journeys to a girl with a guitar, calling to her from a photo, "Come to Alaska. We'd be great friends."
Maybe even The MoonStone Girls.

Story
In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Thea Landry has always known her place in modern-day society. It's somewhere just above the trash can her mother dumped her in as a newborn, but below the class where much comes easy. With her tattered shoes and bargain-bin clothes, her life has never been full of glamour. So when a rich and charismatic man takes interest, she doesn't fool herself into thinking their encounter is anything more than a one-night stand. Months later, she's kicking herself for not getting his phone number. Or his last name. She's given up hope of seeing him ever again.

Evergreen Academy was meant to be my fresh start. My hair was on point. My skin was flawless. And now I wore the hell out of my clothes instead of hiding them. Even running into Ryder hadn't thrown me. So what that the silver-eyed devil who tormented me for years now ruled my new school with a band of boys everyone called the Knights? The four of them were devastatingly rich, enviously handsome...and heartbreakingly cruel.

My parents forgot something when they ran…me. After scamming most of our town out of their life savings, my folks disappeared in the middle of the night. Forced to take me in, my estranged aunt and uncle shipped me off to Raven River Academy the first chance they got. In my town, the line between the haves and the have-nots is actually a 12-foot gate that keeps the unwanted where they belong. Nothing could unite the two factions until I set foot on campus. For the first time in our history, they all agree on one thing: I must pay for my father’s sins.

impressive!
I knew, based on the dates covered, this wasn't going to be all sweetness and light. And it sure wasn't. While it was a reminder of how much harder our people had it "back then," it was also a message of strength. And it was nice to see how they could be good role models for those coming after them (in contrast to those going before them(.
Good narration, too.

Could have been outstanding. Ends up a disaster.
As a historical book with an openly lesbian main character, there was so much potential to show life for the LGBTQ community in that era. The prologue is so powerful that I was looking forward to an exceptional story. Unfortunately, the plot soon regresses into a lust fest, full of details of physical attractions and sexual activities, as if the only thought a homosexual person has is that of sex. The entire first half is infuriating for this reason because there are no feelings explored except for the physical. The second half is just a little better. I wish there were more emotional depth to the content.
The title, the cover, and the blurb gave me expectations of reading a story about a lesbian girl who travels to Alaska as a boy. This doesn’t happen until well into the second half. “The Moonstone Girls” of the title don’t come together until chapter 21 of a book with 24 chapters (not counting the prologue and epilogue.) The pre-Alaska and in-Alaska segments feel like two separate books.
1.5 stars - 0.5 for the writing intention, 1 star for the narration. Rounding down because it was not worth reading were it not for the audio version.
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this book at my request and these are my honest thoughts about it.
