Odd One Out by Nic Stone
4.0
Strong start, strong ending, didn’t love Rae’s narrator for the audiobook in the middle section. I don’t do whiny, crying narrators at this point in my life.
This book, while I found the Carousel Carl subplot confusing, was tightly written for character journey, humorous when the characters called for it, and had a great message about sexuality and labels that I hope resonates with the YA audience. It was a enjoyable read on many levels with great characters, fun yet frustrating romance, and great emotional payoff. It’s a great contemporary novel that I’m glad I picked up. Nic Stone is amazing and I’ll keep picking up her books. Her voice and humor in her writing is so honest and smart, I am such a supporter of her stories. Dear Martin was my favorite contemporary read of all the books I read last year and she continues to deliver quality storytelling.
