The Upside of Unrequited
Twenty-six crushes. Zero kisses. Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love. She crushes hard and crushes often—but always in secret. But when she thinks she's met the perfect boy, she's blindsided to realize that she's already fallen for an unsuitable coworker!
Clueless meets David Levithan in this funny, authentic novel about love, relationships, and identity from the acclaimed author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda.
Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love—she's lived through it twenty-six times. She crushes hard and crushes often, but always in secret. Because 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. Will is funny and flirtatious and just might be perfect crush material. Maybe more than crush material. And 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 an awkward,Tolkien super fan with a season pass to the Ren Faire—and there's absolutely no way Molly could fall for him.
