Joanna meets the perfect girl for her and must decide whether to break a promise that could change everything for her and her family or lose out on love in this charming young adult romance that’s perfect for fans of Julie Murphy’s Dumplin’ and Becky Albertalli’s Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
Joanna Gordon has been out and proud for years, but when her popular radio evangelist father remarries and decides to move all three of them from Atlanta to the more conservative Rome, Georgia, he asks Jo to do the impossible: to lie low for the rest of her senior year. And Jo reluctantly agrees.
Although it is (mostly) much easier for Jo to fit in as a straight girl, things get complicated when she meets Mary Carlson, the oh-so-tempting sister of her new friend at school. But Jo couldn’t possibly think of breaking her promise to her dad. Even if she’s starting to fall for the girl. Even if there’s a chance Mary Carlson might be interested in her, too. Right?

From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—Brown orchestrates a fast-paced narrative that is powerful, moving, and relatable. Jo Gordon, a proudly queer teen, has recently been uprooted from her home in Atlanta to a more rural part of the state during her senior year of high school. Her father also has recently remarried, is a man of faith, and has asked her to keep her sexuality hidden from the greater community. Jo manages to make friends and discovers an unexpected romance but is torn between love and the commitment she made to her father. Readers are then left to follow Jo and her friends as they attempt to navigate unfamiliar terrain that challenges ideals surrounding faith and sexuality. This work will resonate with those who enjoy a female protagonist who is bold, brave, candid, and thoughtful. The language is realistic, and the author accurately captures queer and Southern cultures. Themes such as deception, trust, and sexuality are present throughout. Brown expertly describes the complex nuances of faith and sexuality. This plot-driven story is humorous, and the characters are effortlessly likable. Teens who root for underdogs will be pulling for this dream team of characters. VERDICT For fans of Sandy Hall's Been Here All Along and David Levithan and John Green's Will Grayson, Will Grayson; this title is a worthwhile purchase for all YA collections.—Katie Flynn, Williston Northampton School, MA
Review
“Funny, thoughtful, compassionate Jo is a delightful narrator. The frank portrayals of swearing, sexual activity, underage drinking, etc., neither titillate nor condemn; they just depict teens being authentic teens. A sweet, sexy, honest teen romance that just happens to involve two girls—all the more charming for being so very ordinary.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
“Faith matters in this book, but so do family, friends, and being funny. The dialogue is snappy—Joanna is sharp tongued and sometimes bratty—and the characters aren’t types. Rather, they’re individuals navigating a complicated world, which makes for a rich and satisfying read.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
“A fast-paced narrative that is powerful, moving, and relatable. Brown expertly describes the complex nuances of faith and sexuality. This plot-driven story is humorous, and the characters are effortlessly likable. For fans of David Levithan and John Green’s Will Grayson, Will Grayson.” (School Library Journal (starred review))
“Brown crafts a charming and unexpected hit. Readers will appreciate the compelling characters, the humor, and the romance of the novel. Anyone who enjoys the writing of John Green or Rainbow Rowell will find a sense of familiarity in Brown’s writing, and will be left longing for more.” (Teenreads.com)
“This story is fun and funny with characters to root for (and against). But it’s more than just fun; it’s full of heart. I hope this book finds it way into the hands of anyone, teens especially, who wonder how they can bridge the gap between faith and sexuality.” (Afterellen.com)
PRAISE FOR NO PLACE TO FALL: “I was completely smitten.” (Robin Constantine, author of The Promise of Amazing)
“Hits a chord with the dreamer in all of us.” (Megan Shepherd, author of The Madman’s Daughter)
“Debut author Brown is off to a wonderful start with authentic characters who speak in true voices. Amber could be the best friend you had in high school—she’s absolutely the real deal, and readers will clamor for another well-paced story featuring her and her friends.” (School Library Journal)
“Southern charm oozes off the page.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Lyrically written with a deep sense of place and music. There is so much joy within the pages that the sorrow hits hard and emotions rise and fall and rise again like a vocalist running scales.” (ALA Booklist)
“Brown makes a small town in North Carolina—where everyone knows everyone, and the outside world comes in via Appalachian Trail hikers—feel real, but the heart of the story is Amber, as she tries to find herself, love, and her voice.” (Publishers Weekly)
“The writing shines when Amber describes the feelings that singing awakens in her. One could wish for an accompanying soundtrack.” (Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA))

A sweet romance that explores a difficult topic.
By Clarinet Esq.
In 1998, I read Bruce Bawer's book, A Place at the Table. In it, he postulates a simple idea: being LGBT doesn't mean, or require, being a part of a perceived subculture that emphasized (at the time) promiscuity and a rejection of Christianity and its values. He proposed that being "gay" was not immoral, even for Christian believers.
His postulate is now the way many people do think of LGBT : people who want committed relationships, a meaningful relationship with God, marriage, and family. LGBT people are fundamentally people who want mainly what "straight" people want.
But - especially in the Bible belt of rural America - bigotry based on fundamentalist biblical interpretation is not a hypothetical problem for either LGBT kids or their parents. For those that are LGBT, there is tension between city and country, fundamentalist and main-stream theology, public life and home life.
This isn't written as literary fiction. It's a romance. However, this book explores heavier themes of Lesbianism and faith with skill and compassion.

Your Next Favorite YA Romance
By Nina Moreno
This book is one of the dreamiest, most romantic YAs I've read in a long while. Anna and the French Kiss level of romantic. Jo is an unforgettable character who knows exactly who she is, even while wearing an awful bridesmaid dress at her preacher dad's latest wedding. She sacrifices that certainty for her father, family, and faith, all while falling in love with the magnetic girl-next-door. It's sweet, hot, sexy, and so funny. And it all wraps up with the most romantic movie HEA squee of YES. I loved it.

Another delicious book by this author!
By Serenissima
Like Jaye Robin Brown's first book NO PLACE TO FALL, this new story is oozing with southern charm. The romance is sweet and spicy and so are the characters. I love how authentic the voices sound, as well as a premise that explores the struggle of an already out gay character feeling pressured by her radio-minister father to hide her sexual orientation, just before she meets the girl of her dreams. Jo is a whip-smart main character, who values friendship, faith, family, and falling in love. You'll be rooting for her to attain all of the above, plus her own radio show.
