Coop has always had a crush on Jupe, only problem is that she will never like him back as she identifies as a lesbian.

When I read Dear Martin from this author last year, I enjoyed it and found the plot important enough to give it a high rating, but something about it didn’t quite “click” with me, so I was super apprehensive about reading Odd One Out. On one hand, I was wary that it, like its predecessor, would leave me feeling as though something was missing—on the other hand, with such a diverse cast, my hopes couldn’t help but ride high. Unfortunately, this was simply not an enjoyable reading experience at al...
4.5 stars.Courtney Aloysius Cooper IV ("Coop") has been in love with his best friend Jupiter for as long as he can remember. He knows she is a lesbian so he knows a romantic relationship between the two will never happen, but that doesn't stop him from thinking about her all the time. Plus, it doesn't help that they spend almost all of their free time together since they live next door to each other and their families are intertwined. Heck, he even pledged his virginity to her when they were in
This book would have changed my life if I'd had it when I was 16. It's about figuring out who it's okay to love and the thin lines between friendship and romance and sex. It's about how messy love can be, and about how it's okay to be unsure about everything. And it is damn good.Oh how I love it so. I can't wait for you all to read it.
At the start of the year, I read Dear Martin by Nic Stone and rated it 4,5 cupcakes so you can say I was quite excited to hear about her new novel. Not to mention there'd be queer characters. I was sold, needed it. Then I actually finished it, was torn and.. the more time passed, the more upset I got with this book so.. are you ready for this? Because this isn't going to be pretty..As in Dear Martin, diversity is definitely a huge theme in this book. Where racism is the focus of her previous wor...
ARCs are out in the world, so I can finally talk about this book - and believe me when I say Nic really has outdone herself with ODD ONE OUT. It's one of the best books I read in 2017, and I can't express how perfect it is and how the representation of both sexuality and race is going to change lives when it releases. It's unique, funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and most of all, just like DEAR MARTIN, it's so achingly real. I loved every page of it. I just reread the ARC, so now I've read th...
10/22/18Now that I'm thinking about this book again, I lowered it down to two stars. I have so many more things that I disliked more than I liked.*****************I didn't love this like I thought that I would. To be honest my thoughts are still all over the place. So much of this could have been cleared up with communication. This book is told in three parts. We get the POV of each character. We have Coop, Rae, and Jupiter. Coop has been in love with his best friend Jupiter (who happens to be a...
hmm, i had pretty mixed feelings about this one. i was wary going in because i saw some reviews abt it being biphobic, but most of the biphobia was internalized and dealt with (except the throwaway comments where one of the characters was like oh bi people can’t be attracted to trans people, which is SO not true but to me that seems transphobic rather than biphobic, but still definitely bad). there were a few other throwaway comments that weren’t great either, and breanna was BLATANTLY biphobic
