My Life as a Rhombus by Varian Johnson
5.0
Rhonda is a "sadder but wiser" high school student who loves math. Her friends are geeks, and she shies away from talking to anybody in the popular cheerleader/basketball star clique.
But then one day a cheerleader comes to her tutoring center and it turns out Rhonda has more in common with the cheerleader than she thought.
The story is how Rhonda becomes friends with the cheerleader, and learns to trust herself as she finally heals from a traumatic experience a few years earlier.
Throughout the book are little references to math and theories that are cute without being too overwhelming.
I loved the voice of Rhonda (and imagine my surprise when I found out she was written by a male author!).
Excellent book.
