As their deep friendship turns to love, Latina teenager Miel, who grows roses from her wrist, and Italian-Pakistani Samir, a transgender boy, fear their secrets will be exposed by the beautiful Bonner girls, four sisters rumored to be witchesAnna-Marie McLemore's debut novel, The Weight of Feathers, was a YALSA Morris Award finalist and met with rave reviews from all comers. Now McLemore delivers a second stunning and utterly romantic novel, again tinged with magic. To everyone who knows them, best friends Miel and Sam are as strange as they are inseparable. Roses grow out of Miel's wrists, and rumors say that she spilled out of a water tower when she was five. Sam is known for the moons he paints and hangs in the tres and for how little anyone knows about his life before he and his mother moved to town. But as odd as everyone considers MIel and Sma, even they stay away from the Bonner girls, four beautiful sisters rumored to be witches. Now they want the roses that grow from Miel's skin, convinced that their scnet can make anyone fall in love, and they're willing to use every secret Miel has fought to protect to make sure she gives them up. Atmospheric, dynamic, and packed with gorgeous prose, When the Moon Was Ours is an unforgettable exploration of love and identity. --, from dust jacket
