As a late-blooming, sexually-confused college senior, Audrey Beth Stein was looking for love, but she never expected it to arrive via email, from someone she first knew only as catrina@juno.com... It was 1996. A time when the Indigo Girls had just performed their first explicitly gay songs, Ellen DeGeneres was preparing to come out on national television, and Tinder and OkCupid did not yet exist. A time when being queer was just a little bit easier than admitting you'd met someone through the internet. Offering layers of introspection and insight reminiscent of Curtis Sittenfeld's Prep and Cheryl Strayed's Tiny Beautiful Things, this coming-of-age memoir combines the page-turning exuberance of falling in love for the first time, the disorienting clarity of loss, and the triumph of letting go of the training wheels. **Lambda Literary Award Finalist**
