Add a Comment"Fifteen-year-old Jesse is an out lesbian and a political radical who wears "big, galumphy" fishing boots to feel solidly planted when she walks... but the secret relationship she has with Emily, a perky, popular girl who's officially dating a football star, makes her feel confused and adrift. Emotionally intense, often startlingly funny, and "powerfully raw" (Kirkus Reviews), this bittersweet love story is also a story about friendship and figuring out - and standing up for - what you really believe in. Fans of the intelligent yet empathetic writing, snarky yet vulnerable humour, searing emotions, and fully human characters in The Difference Between You and Me will want to seek out the author's earlier book, Looks."

Highlights the shining idealism and depth of passion that we feel as teens, before time and experience teach us to guard our hearts more closely. It is good to be reminded of this, and it's one of the reasons that adults like me enjoy reading YA novels.
