Summary: It's 1971, and seventeen-year-old Chloe and her best friend, MJ, head to San Francisco to ring in the New Year. But Chloe has an ulterior motive - and a secret. She's pregnant and has devised a plan not to be. In San Francisco's flower-power heyday, it was (just about) legal to end her pregnancy. But as soon as the girls cross the Golden Gate, the scheme starts to unravel amid the bell-bottoms, love beads, and bongs. Chloe's secrets escalate until she betrays everyone she cares about: MJ, who has grave doubts about Chloe's plan; her groovy aunt Kiki, who's offered the girls a place to crash; her self-absorbed mother meditating back in Phoenix. And maybe, especially, the boy she wishes she'd waited for.
