The fourth novel from Julie Murphy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’-now a Netflix feature film starring Danielle Macdonald and Jennifer Aniston, having a soundtrack by Dolly Parton!

For fans of Rainbow Rowell and Morgan Matson, Julie Murphy has generated another fearless heroine, Ramona Blue, inside a gorgeously evocative novel about family, friendship, and how sometimes love can be more liquid than you initial think.

Ramona was only five years old when Hurricane Katrina changed her about Ramona Blue lifestyle forever.

Since then, it’s been Ramona and her family against the globe. Standing up over six feet tall with unmistakable blue locks, Ramona is certain of three factors: she enjoys ladies, she’s fiercely specialized in her family, and she knows she’s destined for something larger than the truck she calls house in Eulogy, Mississippi. But juggling multiple jobs, her flaky mother, and her well-meaning but ineffectual dad forces her to end up being the adult of the family. Right now, with her sister, Hattie, pregnant, responsibility weighs more heavily than ever before.

The return of her childhood friend Freddie brings a welcome distraction. Ramona’s friendship with the previous competitive swimmer accumulates exactly where it still left off, and quickly he’s spoken her into signing up for him for laps in the pool. But mainly because Ramona falls in love with going swimming, her emotions for Freddie begin to shift too, which may be the last thing she expected. With her developing devotion for Freddie making her query her sexual identification, Ramona starts to wonder only if she likes ladies and men or if this brand-new attraction is a fluke. In any event, Ramona will discover that, on her behalf, life and love are more fluid than they seem.
