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)

I thought this book perfectly envisioned what it is like to be bisexual and struggle with your feelings and how you want to express them but are scared too at the same time. I felt so relatable to Ruby and what she was going through.
Morgan also has such strong feelings towards helping people and youth that are struggling with their sexuality and it was nice to see her character do what she could for others.
The book deals a lot with coming out and how it is important to make sure that if someone is not ready to come out, they don’t have to. It is always up to them and what they are comfortable with and they should never be forced to share their sexuality with the world if they don’t want to.
I really liked the book and would love to read more by this author!

SOME GIRLS DO follows two POVs. We have Ruby, who’s a pageant queen who’d rather be in the garage working on her car, and the new girl in town, Morgan, who’s a track star that was forced out of her old high school due to their homophobia. They meet on the wrong foot, when Ruby nearly hits Morgan with her car. From then on, the girls try to ignore their attraction to one another, their animosity slowly turning into unmistakable attraction.

Just from the first few pages, I knew I was going to love this. Dugans writing is great, her characters are realistic. Ruby and Morgan’s journey isn’t picture perfect. Morgan is out of the closet, she is loud and proud about her sexuality. She has family and friends who love and support her. Ruby, however, does not. She’s not 100% sure about what her label should be, and her mother is openly homophobic. They clash as they try and figure out how they can make a happy relationship work if they’re not on the same level. There’s hurt and angst along the way, but I was happy with the conclusion. I was getting worried over how Morgan was reacting to Ruby not being ready to come out, but again, I suppose this is realistic. They’re high school kids with enormous pressure on their shoulders. I appreciated their growth.
