Seventeen-year-old Molly Peskin-Suso knows all about unrequited love, she's lived through twenty-six crushes that all failed because she kept them all a secret, and no matter how many times her sister tells her to 'woman up', she can't stomach the idea of rejection.  She's always careful; fat girls always have to be careful not to get hurt . . . 

Tackling big milestones and teenage issues head-on, The Upside of Unrequited is a funny, authentic novel about sisterhood, love, and identity.

“In her second, relationship-rich novel, Albertalli’s take on the agonies and ecstasies of adolescent love are spot-on.” -- ALA Booklist
