Girl, Crushed

Noah Frye just had the Best Summer Ever.

She had an epic time at science camp, and her new camp friend Jessa is starting at Noah's school soon. Noah can't wait to introduce Jessa to her best friends Zoey and Luna when classes start.

But when the friend group is reunited after their summer apart, something seems to have changed. Zoey and Luna have discovered boys, and now it's all they want to talk about. Suddenly, it feels like Noah is the odd one out in their friend group, especially since Noah hasn't even considered? boys in that way.

When Noah finds herself caught in a lie about having a crush of her own, she decides she'll do anything to fit in with her friends again ...

A hilarious and heartwarming queer contemporary middle-grade story about friendship, first crushes and self-discovery.
