From the award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda comes a funny, authentic novel about sisterhood, love, and identity.
Heart-fluttering, honest, and hilarious. I can't stop hugging this book. (Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of Anna and the French Kiss)
I have such a crush on this book! Not only is this one a must read, but it's a must re-read. (Julie Murphy, New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin')
Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love. No matter how many times her twin sister, Cassie, tells her to woman up, Molly can't stomach the idea of rejection. So she's careful. Fat girls always have to be careful.
Then a cute new girl enters Cassie's orbit, and for the first time ever, Molly's cynical twin is a lovesick mess. Meanwhile, Molly's totally not dying of loneliness - except for the part where she is. Luckily, Cassie's new girlfriend comes with a cute hipster-boy sidekick. If Molly can win him over, she'll get her first kiss and she'll get her twin back.
There's only one problem: Molly's coworker, Reid. He's a chubby Tolkien superfan with a season pass to the Ren Faire, and there's absolutely no way Molly could fall for him.
Right?
- A Quest for a First Kiss: After twenty-six unrequited crushes, seventeen-year-old Molly is ready for the real thing--if she can just survive the possibility of rejection.
- Complicated Sisterhood: Molly and her twin Cassie have always been inseparable. But when Cassie gets a girlfriend, Molly has to wonder if there's still room for her.
- An Unlikely Love Interest: Everyone thinks Molly should fall for the cute hipster boy. But what about Reid, her Tolkien-obsessed coworker who might just see her for who she really is?
- Authentic Fat Protagonist: A funny, heartfelt story about self-acceptance, identity, and learning that fat girls deserve a happily ever after, too.
