Who I Was With Her

Corinne Parker has kept her bisexuality and her relationship with rival cross-country captain Maggie Bailey private. When Maggie dies, that secrecy leaves Corinne grieving a love most people never knew existed. Ordinary expectations continue around her while the person she most wants to speak about is absent. Connecting with Maggie’s ex-girlfriend, Elissa, brings someone who understands part of her loss, along with feelings Corinne does not know how to handle. Moving between the relationship and its aftermath, Nita Tyndall’s YA novel follows a bisexual teenager confronting the costs of concealment, the complexity of grief and the possibility of making choices on her own terms.
