However, while these groups are often found to be cliche, they didn't feel that way in this book. Other characters included various outcasts, goths, theater kids and the popular crowd. I thought it was interesting to see characters who were all so different compared to each other. While it felt a little bit slow at times, overall I found it quite fast-paced and I was never bored. I was impressed by this book because I often find it hard to get into YA contemporary novels, but I had no trouble getting into this one. But as Ava questions her sexual orientation, her relationship with Chloe, and what she wants for her future, her secrets catch up to her and she can't hide who she is, or who she thinks she may be, any longer. She tries to keep her school and personal lives separate, hiding her relationship with Chloe from her classmates, and not telling Chloe that she's signed up to help with the school play. However, Ava wants to try new things, to go to a new school, and maybe even to wear pink. Ava has come out as a lesbian and is dating Chloe, who prides herself on not being like others her age, and who encourages Ava to do the same.
