Summary

"After not being able to have a sweet sixteen party, Mahalia decides to throw a coming out party to celebrate love and herself"--

Mahalia Harris wants a big Sweet Sixteen like her best friend Naomi. She wants the cute new girl Siobhan to like her back. She wants a break from worrying about money, snide remarks from white classmates, and pitying looks from church ladies. It's too late for a Sweet Sixteen-- but what about a Coming Out Party? A singing, dancing, rainbow-cake-eating celebration of queerness! Mahalia starts saving, taking on extra hours at her afterschool job-- and awkwardly flirting with Siobhan. But with all the responsibility on her shoulders, will the party be over before it's even begun? - adapted from jacket
