Andrea is a teenager who has become stressed out because she has discovered
that she feels a deep and mutual physical attraction for her close friend
Darlene. She doesn't want to be a lesbian! Can't they just love each other
and not be lesbians? Well, yes, I certainly think so; but I've had this
argument too many times to repeat it again. This is another excellent story.
As the author adds in a postscript, "You can separate sex from teenage angst,
but you can't separate angst from teenage sex."
