Freaks and Geeks, Beautiful Weirdos, Outsiders and Oddballs (132 books)

Fiction about quirky people and those who don't fit in, feeling like an outsider or finding 'your people'. Odd-couple friendships, found family, alternative lifestyles, lost souls, rebels with or without cause... all are welcome. There will probably be some manic pixie dream girls on the list, and a lot of teenage angst. Please feel free to add your favourites!
