Ramonas Entdeckung der unbegrenzten Liebe ist von absoluter Schönheit. „Ramona Blue ist Julie Murphys bisher bestes Buch. Ich wünschte, ich hätte dieses Buch während meiner eigenen Jugend gehabt.“ ROBIN TALLEY Ramona war erst fünf Jahre alt, als der Hurrikan Katrina ihr Leben für immer veränderte. Seitdem scheint es, als habe sich die Welt gegen sie und ihre Familie verschworen. Mit ihrer außergewöhnlichen Größe von 1,80 Metern und ihren unverwechselbaren blauen Haaren, sind für Ramona drei Dinge sicher: Sie mag Mädchen, sie ist der totale Familienmensch, und sie weiß, dass sie für etwas Größeres bestimmt ist als für ein Leben in dem Wohnwagen in Eulogy, Mississippi, den die Familie ihr zu Hause nennt. Ramona jongliert mit mehreren Jobs, ihrer exzentrischen, unzuverlässigen Mutter und ihrem gutmeinenden, aber überforderten Vater, und ist so gezwungen, die Erwachsene in der Familie zu sein. Jetzt, mit ihrer schwangeren Schwester Hattie, wiegt die Verantwortung schwerer als je zuvor. Die Rückkehr ihres Jugendfreunds Freddie ist somit eine willkommene Ablenkung. Ramonas Freundschaft mit dem ehemaligen Wettkampfschwimmer geht genau da weiter, wo sie damals aufhörte, und bald hat er sie überredet, mit ihm im Becken ihre Bahnen zu ziehen. Als Ramona ihre Leidenschaft fürs Schwimmen entdeckt, beginnen sich auch, ihre Gefühle für Freddie zu verändern, was sie so gar nicht erwartet hätte. Mit ihrer wachsenden Zuneigung für Freddie, die ihre sexuelle Identität in Frage stellt, beginnt Ramona sich zu fragen, ob sie vielleicht Mädchen und Jungs mag oder ob diese neue Anziehung womöglich gar nichts damit zu tun hat. Auf jeden Fall wird Ramona erkennen, dass sich das Leben und die Liebe meist ähnlich anfühlen wie das Wasser, durch das sie ihre Bahnen zieht – fließend und veränderlich.
