The Upside of Unrequited

by Becky Albertalli

I don’t want to third-wheel it with Cassie and Mina, so I end up going to a parade-watching party near the Dance Exchange with my moms. And Xav. And Grandma. Wild times. It’s hosted by these people Nadine knows from baby group, so the party is full of babies. I am seventeen years old, and this is my social life.
