A contemporary teen romance novel featuring a Palestinian-Canadian girl trying to hide her autism diagnosis while navigating her first year of high school, for fans of Jenny Han and Samira Ahmed.
Fifteen-year-old Jessie, a quirky loner obsessed with the nineties, is diagnosed as autistic just weeks before starting high school. Determined to make a fresh start and keep her diagnosis a secret, Jessie creates a list of goals that range from acquiring two distinct eyebrows to getting a magical first kiss and landing a spot in the school play. Within the halls of Holy Trinity High, she finds a world where things are no longer black and white and quickly learns that living in color is much more fun. But Jessie gets more than she bargained for when two very different boys steal her heart, forcing her to go off-script.

"This is a genuine and heartwarming story of embracing being oneself that features a wide cast of characters and a neurodivergent protagonist. This book would be ideal for fans of the romance and coming-of-age genres."—Young Adulting

Amazing
I’ve been expecting this book since last year, and it did not disappoint. Everything about works. The flow, the story, the characters it’s all so real. I loved it. (I want more.)
