High school, First Love, and Coming Out. "It's times like these when a girl really needs a best friend!" A lonely young artist finds love in an unexpectedplace in this poignant and laugh-out-loud story of self-discovery. Charlotte Baxter already knows what her perfect girlfriend would look like; she has boxes filled with drawings of her dream girl hidden on the top shelf of her closet. She sees the irony, she just isn't ready to admit that she's gay, not even to herself. Then one morning a beautiful redhead sits down next to her in English class, and staying in the closet suddenly gets a whole lot more complicated. Lilly looks like the girl in Charlotte's drawings. Not just a little like her, exactly like her! Could this be Charlotte's perfect girlfriend come to life? But, as Charlotte soon learns, looks can be deceiving. Lilly Roberts is not perfect. Nope. Not even close.
