âMore a love story about sisterhood than romantic, itâs a story that will illuminate what itâs like to live an ordinary teenage life when you have autism.â âBustle An unforgettable story about autism, sisterhood, and first love thatâs perfect for fans of Jenny Han, Sophie Kinsella, and Sarah Dessen. New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things Julie Buxbaum raved: âI couldnât put it down.â Meet Chloe Mitchell, a popular Los Angeles girl whoâs decided that her older sister, Ivy, whoâs on the autism spectrum, could use a boyfriend. Chloe already has someone in mind: Ethan Fields, a sweet, movie-obsessed boy from Ivyâs special needs class. Chloe would like to ignore Ethanâs brother, David, but she canâtâIvy and Ethan arenât comfortable going out on their own so Chloe and David have to tag along. Soon Chloe, Ivy, David, and Ethan form a quirky and wholly lovable circle. And as the group bonds over frozen yogurt dates and movie nights, Chloe is forced to confront her own romantic choicesâand the realization that itâs okay to be a different kind of normal. âLaZebnik hits it out of the park . . . Never resorting to stereotype, she depicts appealing, three-Âdimensional characters who flesh out a narrative that is compassionate, tender, funny, and wise all at once. This insightful, well-Âwritten story will entertain readers while inspiring meaningful empathy.ââBooklist (starred review) âWriting with honesty and wit, LaZebnik offers a thought-provoking portrayal of how people can come together despite, or perhaps because of, their differences.ââPublishers Weekly âChloe and her sister are so authentically portrayed, they nearly leap off the page.ââSchool Library Journal
