Beginnings, by Kristina Ten

Beginnings is a gun fetish/fascism allegory, with a macho dad, and a directionless son.  But the protagonists are two girls that become best friends, exploring their relationship.  It's a sad tale but very well told and very innovative.  I would have voted it higher in the Locus polls.
