Odd One Out
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin comes an honest and touching depiction of friendship, first love, and everything in between.

She's his partner-in-crime and other half. But lately, Cooper can't ignore he might want something more than friendship from Jupiter. When Rae Chin moves to town she can't believe how lucky she is to find Coop and Jupe. Being the new kid is usually synonymous with pariah, but around these two, she finally feels like she belongs. She's so grateful she wants to kiss him...and her. Jupiter has always liked girls. But when Rae starts dating Cooper, Jupe realizes that the only girl she ever really imagined by his side was her.

"And there she is: Jupiter Charity-Sanchez at her computer, with her grass-green fingernails, three studs in each ear, and a hoop through her right nostril, likely organizing some community event to bring 'sustenance and smiles' to the local homeless or a boycott of some major retailer in protest of sweatshop conditions in Sri Lanka."

Everyone knows the scoop on Jupe-Coop. Jupiter has been an out an proud lesbian since the 4th grade and Courtney "Coop" Cooper has been madly in love with her since the first time he laid eyes on her. Now enter the gorgeous new girl, Rae Evelyn Chin and a whole new set of mixed emotions. Is it Jupe-Coop forever or JupeChin or Rae-Coop, or does no one get the girl/guy of their dreams?

Literally read it from cover to cover in one sitting. This was the novel I needed in high school. People can be so stuck on labels and it takes a lot of guts to just be you!!
