Annie On My Mind is a 1982 novel by Nancy Garden about the romantic relationship between two 17-year-old New York City girls, Annie and Liza.
- Liza Winthrop first meets Annie Kenyon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on a rainy day. The two become fast friends, although they come from different backgrounds. Liza is the student body president at her private school, Foster Academy, where she is studying hard to get into MIT and become an architect. She lives with her parents and younger brother in the upscale neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights where most of the residents are professionals.
- Annie goes to a public school and lives with her parents — a bookkeeper and a cabdriver — and grandmother in a more disreputable part of Brooklyn. Annie is uncertain if she wants to go to college, and is equally uncertain if she can afford it. She aims to attend the University of California, Berkeley, where she will continue to develop her singing talent. While they have different histories and goals in life, the two girls do share a close friendship that quickly grows into love.
- Liza's school is struggling to remain open and she finds herself having to defend a student who planned a poorly conceived fund-raiser: ear piercing in the school basement. This results in a three-day school suspension for Liza and helps to bring Liza and Annie closer together as they both deal with the struggles encountered by many high school students.
- The suspension and the partly concominant Thanksgiving break give the girls time to become closer and lead to their first kiss. Annie admits she is gay. Liza soon realizes that although she has always considered herself different, she has not realized her sexual orientation until she falls in love with Annie.
