    Summary: Sixteen-year-old queer Indian American, Maya, who falls for her white, wealthy, and complicated female classmate, Juneau, is asked to join a secret society of artists, vandals, and mischief-makers who fight for justice at their school. Maya Krishnan is fiercely protective of her friends, immigrant community, and single mother, but she knows better than to rock the boat in her conservative Florida suburb. Her classmate Juneau Zale, on the other hand, is a wealthy white heartbreaker who won't think twice before capsizing that boat. Juneau invites Maya to join the Pugilists-- a secret society of artists, vandals, and mischief-makers who fight for justice at their school. Their friendship inspires Maya to confront the challenges in her own life. As their relationship grows romantic, Maya must learn to speak her truth in this mixed-up world-- even if it results in heartbreak. -- adapted from jacket
