Description
Kazuha, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer is against her private Catholic school's code of conduct. There, she meets Chaewon, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue 1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn to each other and can't deny their growing feelings. But while Kazuha-out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start-doesn't want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Chaewon isn't ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path toward living her truth, can they go the distance together? • This story is just an adaptation of the physical book of the same name.
