Book Description:
When sixteen-year-old Polly O'Keefe journeys to Athens, she feels confused and betrayed.
The past eight months at home were different from any other time in her life. She met the brilliant, wealthy Maximiliana Horne, who gave her encouragement and made her feel self-confident. Polly idolized Max, until she learned a starting truth that left her wounded and angry.
Now on a trip to Greece arranged by Max, Polly finds romance, danger, and unique friendships. But can she find a way to forgive Max and remember her as more than a painful memory?

Quite surprised by the Gay/Lesbian and genereal sexuality theme in this. Haven't encountered that with L'engle before and I've read dozens of her books.

This book is a story about growing up that deals with the REAL crises that come with growing up. L'Engle deals with sexuality in a very honest way, discussing not only the questions that are asked in the process of maturity, but also the bigger issues and emotions that come alongside it. Very different from L'Engle's other books that I have read, but still worth reading.
