Leah on the Offbeat meets We Are Okay in this pitch-perfect queer romance about falling in love and never quite falling out of it--heartbreak, unexpected new crushes, and all.Before Quinn Ryan was in love with Jamie Rudawski, she loved Jamie Rudawski, who was her best friend. But when Jamie dumps Quinn a month before their senior year, Quinn is suddenly girlfriend-less and best friend-less. Enter a new crush: Ruby Ocampo, the gorgeous and rich lead singer of the popular band Sweets, who's just broken up with her on-again, off-again boyfriend. Quinn's always only wanted to be with Jamie, but if Jamie no longer wants to be with her, why can't Quinn go all in on Ruby? But the closer Quinn grows to Ruby, the more she misses Jamie, and the more (she thinks) Jamie misses her. Who says your first love can't be your second love, too?Katie Heaney is a full-time senior writer for the Cut, a former editor at BuzzFeed, and the author of the memoirs Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date and Would You Rather?

"I’m giving this book a 5.5/10. Realistic portrayal of young queer love and being a baby gay in my opinion. I love stories that aren’t revolved around trying to come out. Didn’t love the ending too much felt like it killed the main protagonists growth and self reflection she did throughout the book. It definitely made me feel nostalgic for what it felt like being gay in high school and a perfectionist. Still a fun read though and couldn’t put it down. "

"Read this when i was identifying as lesbian, absolutely heartwarming. Way more realistic than I expected. <3"

"A 3.5/5. I LOVE that this book gives a new perspective of teenage love, instead of starting with "I'm in love with this girl," its begins with a post-break up scene. Personally, I think this book is predictable in its events with the not-quite-over-my-ex set up and the whole thing about "being a teenager learning that life moves on and its okay" thing (oh, don't get me wrong, this book has a happy ending!). And yet, even though you know whats coming, you still swoon for it."
