Pink
Lili Wilkinson
Ava Simpson’s girlfriend Chloe is the coolest and most alternative person ever, and they hang out at the grown-up, lesbian Batcave with artists and intellectuals. But Ava has a secret. In the depths of her wardrobe, a shiny bag with rope handles hides a pretty soft pink cashmere knit. Deep down, Ava thinks she might actually be the kind of girl who likes boys. So she transfers to a posh private school, without telling Chloe her real reasons why. Ava quickly makes friends with some well-groomed and shinily mainstream Pastels, who match her up with an eligible, handsome boy and persuade her to audition for the musical. Ava fails to get a part after a cringe-worthy audition, but joins the stage crew to remain involved with the production.
The Screws are a bunch of messy black-wearing misfits, headed by a cheeky redhead named Sam, who involve Ava in their hilarious debates and missions. Ava’s having a lot of fun, but she must resist making them her real friends – because of course she’s nothing like them.
Ava’s life grows increasingly complicated as she struggles to keep her divided loyalties a secret and her three groups of friends apart. She finds herself dashing between Pastel parties and café gatherings with the Screws, covering her tracks and lying to Chloe. And it all comes unstuck on the disastrous opening night of the musical. In the fallout, Ava must at last be totally honest with all the people around her. Might it actually be possible that she could be liked just for herself?
