Waiting on Wednesday | The Upside of Unrequited

November 2, 2016 By Birdie

The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
(Release Date: April 11, 2017)

About the Book: From the award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda comes a funny, authentic novel about sisterhood, love, and identity.

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.

Why I’m dying to read this:

I loved Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda, and I didn’t know this spin off book was coming out. Now that I know I can’t stop thinking about it. I have a feeling this book is going to be even better than the original, and I want it!

I am sure that this one will get a lot of readers. I see that you are reading Scythe. Neal Shusterman is one of my favorite authors. I plan on reading it too, but after a few of the books release.

I haven’t read Simon yet, but only because the line at the library is about a billion people long. I can’t wait to read it– based on bloggers who also like similar reads, I have a feeling this will be on my TBR soon, as well.

  Simon was really good. There’s this effortless, easy, way the author writes. It feels very honest.
