Gender Theory – Madeline Docherty

Description

You lose your virginity to a boy from your gender theory seminar, and the first person you tell is Ella.

Ella’s with you at the party when you first kiss a girl.

And Ella takes you to the hospital the first time you’re diagnosed.

Over the next few years you have a string of relationships and jobs, but you can always count on Ella to be there for you – until the drinking and the parties, the hospital visits and late-night calls, blur the lines of your friendship into something unbalanced and fragile, at risk of breaking altogether.
