Caron High News

Caron High News, a young adult novella by Annabelle Jay, begins on the day of the first GSA, or Gay-Straight Alliance, meeting at Nissa Falenbach’s school. The club was started by Principal Perry to give Nissa a community after the school’s first hate crime that past summer, but unfortunately, no one shows up. As Nissa leaves the school she runs into Bethany, her former best friend and now popular girl, who has recently been dumped for not being sexually adventurous. The two agree on mutually advantageous terms: they will pretend to date until Lenny wants Bethany back. But when Audrey, the school gossip newspaper’s Editor-in-Chief, creates a scandal about them, neither Nissa nor Audrey could have predicted what happens next.
