Sixteen-year-old Maya Krishnan is fiercely protective of her friends, immigrant community, and single mother, but she knows better than to rock the boat in her conserative Florida suburb. Her classmate Juneau Zale is the polar opposite: She's a wealthy white heartbreaker who won't think twice before capsizing that boat. When Juenau invited Maya to join the Pugilists -- a secret society of artists, vandals, and mischief-makers who fight for justice at their school -- Maya descends into the world of change-making and resistance. Soon, she and Juneau forge a friendship that inspires Maya to confront the challenges in her own life. But as their relationship grows romantic, painful, and twisted, Maya begins to suspect that there's a whole different person beneath Juneau's painted on facade. Now Maya must learn to speak her truth in this ysterious, mixed up world -- even if it ends in heartbreak. A powerful story exploring identity and first love through art and the crusade for social change within a divided community.

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.
