Phyre and Mia

Phyre knows there is something life-changing about her new drama teacher, Mia, from the moment they meet. As Phyre rehearses for the school play, she comes to realize that the unrequited feelings she has for Mia go deeper than she’s ever experienced. Especially with a teacher. Or a woman.

Friendship and Feelings

All the while, Phyre’s best friend—addressed throughout the story in the second person, as "you"—stands by, ready to help Phyre make sense of her feelings. But just as Mia doesn’t understand what Phyre feels, Phyre can’t fathom the depth of her best friend’s feelings... until it’s almost too late for a happy ending.

Format and Questions

Characters come to life through the innovative screenplay format of this dazzling debut, and unanswered questions— is "you" male or female?— will have readers talking.
