Odd One Out

From the bestselling author of Dear Martin comes an illuminating exploration of old friendships, new crushes and the path to self-discovery. When it comes to love, attraction and relationships, nothing is simple.

Courtney Cooper and Jupiter Sanchez have been best friends and neighbours since they were seven years old. And despite Courtney’s best efforts to suppress it, he can’t help being hopelessly in love with Jupe. But a relationship with the girl next door isn’t in the cards because Jupiter has been out of the closet for almost as long as she’s known Courtney. Then Rae Chin moves to town, and Courtney thinks he’s finally found a girl he could fall for who isn’t Jupiter. The only problem: Jupiter is falling for Rae, too. One story. Three sides. No easy answers.
