Girl Crushed is one of those books that you need to read when you’re feeling a bit lost and confused yourself at any age. Quinn spends her senior year feeling lost, but also determined to get what she wants: a girlfriend who loves her as much as she loves them, a spot on one of her top school choice soccer teams, and to save her one safe haven from shutting down. On top of relationship drama, Quinn’s dream of playing soccer for UNC and moving on to play professionally seems to be slipping through her fingers and her favorite lesbian coffee shop is in danger going out of business. It doesn’t help that Jamie seems to be completely over Quinn. Her best-friend-slash-girlfriend, Jamie, broke up with her the summer before they embarked on their senior year of high school, and now Quinn is torn between still having feelings for Jamie and developing new ones for resident cool girl Ruby Ocampo. Twitter: didn’t know there was more than one way for things to turn out okay, in the end.” Before joining The Cut, where she’s a senior writer, she worked as a freelance writer, and at Buzzfeed as a writer and editor.
