FF Michele L. Rivera - Never the Same

Entering junior year of college, lesbian blogger Paige Galner is confident as her campus’s voice of wisdom about all queer girl issues until the repercussions of one biphobic post, coupled with one intriguing new face in the dormitory, impel her to reconsider her heart’s biased convictions.

Twenty-year old Paige has never had a problem broadcasting her opinions regarding the gay community. She has developed her own theories concerning queer culture and sees it as her mission to enlighten only lesbian readers on how to navigate being gay in a predominantly heterosexual world. But the moment Paige meets openly bisexual freshman Lennox, her dichotomous belief system begins to waiver.

The stronger Paige’s attraction to Lennox grows, the more Paige tries to pull away. Paige does not want to disappoint her lesbian followers or be criticized for hypocrisy. However, deep down, Paige is unsure if she even has a choice in the matter. Could it be that her heart does not discriminate? The time has come for Paige to determine whether or not she is willing to revise her personal, bigoted storyline and write Lennox into her script.

Never the Same is about challenging our personal biases, which divide us, in an attempt to uncover the humanness and love that unite us.
