(Does she want to?) In Dahlia Adler’s Going Bicoastal, there’s more than one path to happily ever after. A queer Sliding Doors YA rom-com in which a girl must choose between summer in NYC with her dad (and the girl she's always wanted) or LA with her estranged mom (and the guy she never saw coming).
