Centuries in the future, human civilization has spread to the stars, and people have built many space stations and colonized many planets. But not all of these habitats have the same way of life. Some, in fact, have cultures that are radically different, as young Kasha is about to discover.
Kasha is a 16-year-old girl who has lived all her life on the space station Sigma 14, raised in its world of modesty and monogamy. All that changes when her family moves to the human colony on the planet of Lupina, a world where the inhabitants wear little or no clothing, and where sex is shared openly and liberally. As Kasha learns to adapt to this radical new way of life, she makes some new friends who are only to happy to help guide her through this difficult transition, and a boy named Gene who may show her some things she never knew about herself.

Reflections (warning: mild spoilers)
Reviewed it on July 6, 2025
"The only person Kasha had ever seen naked in her life was the girl in the mirror." Kasha Elloway's journey to body acceptance and sexual positivity is reflected throughout the text in large ways and small, but perhaps the most telling is through the changes in the way she looks at herself in the mirror, from "decid[ing] her package wasn’t too bad, all things considered" (as the space liner prepares to leave hyperspace for its final approach to Lupina) through the salon makeover, after which "for the first time she found she liked the way she looked naked" (Tatjana clearly likes it too), then the touch-up and glow-up Tatjana gives her before Trina's party (which sees her narrow miss with Billy and connection with Gene, which in turn leads to her decision to kick the clothing habit), all the way to her elaborate decoration for the Junior Bacchanal. "She couldn’t believe how panicked she’d been about it when the shuttle had first landed all those months ago; now she couldn’t imagine her life any other way."
