So, when her wrathful father threatens to marry her and her trans twin brother Seb to the highest bidders, she's certain they can escape England, even with a war on. But before they reach safety in Italy, a U-boat sinks their ship, and Violet washes up on a small island, on the wrong side of enemy lines, desperate to find her missing twin. To earn passage to the mainland, where she hopes Seb has landed, Violet disguises herself as a man and accepts a job delivering love poetry for melancholy pacifist Teo, the island's irritating golden boy. The object of his affection, fair Olivia, is less than enchanted, but she is intrigued by the handsome delivery boy--Violet in disguise. While Violet struggles to sidestep Olivia's attentions, she's vexed by her own inconvenient but undeniable attraction to Teo. Add a mysterious newcomer, who converts the love triangle into a square, and Olivia's autistic sister, who's concocting a devilish revenge against the island's biggest bully, and odds are things will only get messier. Fortunately, playing the odds is Violet's specialty. Susan Metallo's whip-smart writing makes for a witty, elegant, and high-stakes exploration of love, loss, friendship, and identity."--Amazon.com.
