Rainbow Overalls

A new friendship evolves into something unexpected and extraordinary in Rainbow Overalls, a heartfelt college romance by debut author Maggie Fortuna.
All Ginny Holland wants is to skip over her dramatic coming out story and live a being out story. Arriving for her first year at an artsy, incredibly queer college in middle-of-nowhere Vermont, she's ready to be her true bisexual self. But being out and welcomed doesn't mean self-acceptance is so simple.
Natalie Becker knows exactly who she is, and she's right where she wants to be—so why isn't she happy? She shouldn't be preoccupied by what awaits her after college: working at her mother's Jewish deli and giving up on her dream of being an artist. With anxiety about the future always in the back of her mind, Nat is determined to live in the moment at all costs.
Nat and her friends welcome Ginny into their group, but there's an undercurrent of something more between them. A friendship is safe—not too intimidating for Ginny, and not too serious for Nat—as long as they can keep it that way.
