Something Unpredictable

Synopsis

Bestselling, award-winning rom-com queen Becky Albertalli returns in Something Unpredictable, where two romances are woven together into one unforgettable novel with a surprising twist.

'An absolute delight' - Rachael Lippincott

'Smart, surprising, and emotionally devastating in the best way' - Page Powars

Jane has fallen in love too many times – and always with straight girls. If there’s one thing she knows, it’s that shooting her shot leads to guaranteed heartbreak. So that's it: she’s going to be single forever (even if her goofball friend Phoebe gives her butterflies).

Ellie has never really been in love. Then one night she stumbles upon wry tomboy Ashley – hiding in the mall. Soon, squeaky clean Ellie finds herself drawn into Ashley’s secret world, lying to her own parents and friends to spend more and more time with her. But that’s just because Ashley needs her, right? After all, Ellie’s always considered herself to be straight...

In this dual-POV novel, two teen girls navigate friendship, first love, and identity – and soon learn that there's nothing more unpredictable than what the heart wants.

Reviews

Something Unpredictable is, quite simply, an absolute delight. Relatable, sweet, and perfectly captures the magic of teen romance in a way only Becky Albertalli can. You’ll be smiling from start to twisty, wonderful finish. I’m pretty sure my lesbian heart grew three sizes from reading it.Rachael Lippincott, bestselling author of She Gets the Girl, Rachael Lippincott, bestselling author of She Gets the Girl
