Soon, Ellen finds herself in her own relationship with James, who finds that he is perhaps not gay but bisexual, and wonders if she's just a placeholder for her brother until he finds his way. When she brings it up, Link vehemently denies it, and that breaks up his relationship with James. It isn't until she goes to high school for the first time and begins to find 'friends' of her own that she begins to wonder if Link and James aren't just friends, but a couple. She loves her older brother Link, and thinks she is in love with his best friend, James. This book deals with that secondhand, through the perspective of a fourteen-year-old named Ellen.

You start wondering what girls or boys you find attractive. You begin to feel things during puberty that you're unsure you should be feeling.
