Pink by Lili Wilkinson

                   This is a great story about peer-pressure and wanting to fit in.  Ava is a cool black-wearing lesbian, but although she loves her eccentric family and her awesome girlfriend, she secretly wants to try being a girly-girl and wear pink.  When Ava transfers to a new school, she takes the chance to be a different person.  She wants to have a handsome boyfriend and fit in with the popular crowd but Ava soon digs herself into a mess by trying to live two separate lives.  Ava's girlfriend stirs up trouble and the kids at her new school don't appreciate being lied to.  This is a very well-written and exciting book!  Who hasn't tried to keep secret parts of their life?  I know I have, I definitely recommend Pink to teens everywhere!
