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.
