Odd One Out by Nic Stone
3.0
I received this ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Coop and Jupiter are next-door neighbors and best friends, they are each other’s person. Coop has had a crush on Jupiter forever, but Jupiter is an out and proud lesbian. Coop knows in his head that they will never romantically get together, but his heart just won’t give up. This solid friendship is rocked when new girl, Rae comes to town. Both Coop and Jupiter have romantic interest in this new girl…and she may just have interests in both of them. Rae considers herself straight and has had boyfriends in the past, but her attraction to Jupiter is causing her to reconsider her sexual identity. These three are in for a love triangle on steroids.
This novel explores sexual identity from many different perspectives. It is especially helpful that it is told through the three perspectives, with each subsequently taking center stage throughout the novel. I appreciated the journey through sexual identity, no matter where you are on the spectrum, you may continue to question your identity.
