Summary
In this YA contemporary queer romance from the author of Hot Dog Girl, an openly gay track star falls for a closeted, bisexual teen beauty queen with a penchant for fixing up old cars.
“Earnest, wistful, romantic, and real.” (Casey McQuiston, New York Times best-selling author of Red, White & Royal Blue)
Morgan, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer is against her private Catholic school's code of conduct. There, she meets Ruby, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue 1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn to each other and can't deny their growing feelings. But while Morgan - out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start - doesn't want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Ruby isn't ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path toward living her truth, can they go the distance together?
“Beautiful, necessary, and completely irresistible.” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times best-selling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda)

A captivating story
I am a huge fan or Jennifer Dugan and the tale of Ruby and Morgan is one I know I will never forget. I have read both the book and listened to the audio version and each chapter is so beautifully written I could visualise each scene and character perfectly. Their journey to becoming the people that they are by the end of the book and a roller coaster of emotions had me captivated from the start and this book made me laugh and cry at various points as well! I highly recommend giving ‘Some Girls Do’ a chance... you truly won't regret it.
