Happy Endings Are All Alike

In 1978 Sandra Scoppettone, who would soon become one of America's most well-known mystery writers, created this story of Peggy and Jaret, two high school girls madly in love but unsure of their sexuality who find themselves the target of a violent plot to punish them for their relationship. Part mystery thriller, part love story, Happy Endings Are All Alike was only the third young adult novel to include lesbians and was a commercial and critical sensation.
