filled with confusion, anger, and joy. She has two friends who are also dealing
with hard issues. One is got pregnant on a date-rape. The other is a boy who
wants to come out. Gabi has her own dilemmas as a she is dealing with her
stubborn mother who is always telling her to “keep her eyes open and her legs
closed” so she will not endure the same mistakes she did. But Gabi is determining
to live her life and experience new things without her mother’s ideas of life.
