Sweet Girls & Bluebirds – Caroline Sophia Hamel

Sophia Taylor may have a lot of things going for her-a loving, doting older sister, a comfy group of queer friends, a supportive family, and a newfound security in her trans identity-but there’s one thing she doesn’t have: a sweet boyfriend waiting where she wasn’t looking. When Anthony comes into the periphery of her life, she’s introduced to a quiet romance. He’s not the guy she envisioned-he’s so much better, actually: soft, affectionate, and sweet. When he plucks up the courage to ask her to Winter Formal, she can’t help but say, “yes.” However, as Winter Formal approaches, Sophia must contend with a few unexpected changes. Not just in her closest friend Isa and her tight-knit friend group, but in her own heart. In this feel-good queer story, Sophia must make a choice and decide what Winter Formal really means to her.
