With romance, fat representation, and a meaningful exploration on how past hurts can affect our future, Jenna Millerâs novel is sure to deliver all the feels. Jordan Elliott is a fat, nerdy lesbian, and the first junior to be named editor in chief of the school newspaper. Okay, that last part hasnât happened yet, but it will. Itâs positive thinking that has gotten Jordan this far. Ever since Mackenzie West, her friend-turned-enemy, humiliated her at the start of freshman year, Jordan has thrown herself into journalism and kept her eyes trained on the future.So itâs a total blow when Jordan discovers that she not only didnât get the editor in chief spot, but sheâs been assigned the volleyball beat instead. And who is the star and newly crowned captain of the volleyball team? Mackenzie West. But words are Jordanâs weapon, and she has some ideas about how to exact a long-awaited revenge on her nemesis. Then things get murky when forced time together has Mack and Jordan falling back into their friendship, and into something more. And when Mack confesses the real reason she turned on Jordan freshman year, it has Jordan questioning everythingâpast, present, and future.If Jordan lets her guard down and Mack in, will she get everything she wants, or will she be humiliated all over again?
