As kids,
Lily and Diana were inseparable, but these days, they couldn’t be further apart.

Lily’s an outcast, who spends her days getting high and drawing in her notebook from the comfort of her trailer. Diana is the golden girl.
Rich, beautiful, perfect.


When the community garden where they spent so much of their childhood is set to be demolished, they’re forced to put their differences aside and work together to save it.
But
something simmers beneath all of the resentment, something neither of them dare to name.

What begins as stolen moments between former best friends turns into so much more.
And when Lily would give up everything for the chance to be together, she has to decide if it’s
worth risking her heart for someone who may never choose her back.

Because it’s the 1970s
And the world doesn’t have a place for
girls like them.
