In Clean & Wholesome Romance for

Young Adults

What if the one element that has always defined you as a geeky outcast has thepotential to catapult you into being the next big thing?

A black girl adopted into a white family, Jodie has always felt out of place, especially at her mainly middle-class, white high school. Used to being a ghost in the halls, she has always found solace alone in her room surrounded by a world of Stephen King novels, Oreo cookies, Dave Brubeck jazz riffs and origami.

 

Forever classified as a geeky outcast, she finally finds two unlikely friends who share her interests and accept her as she is—Bethany, the visually-impaired, neurodiverse new girl, and Jared, the home-schooled, self-proclaimed, nerdy frozen-yogurt clerk who she’s crushing on big-time.

 

But when the origami tutorial videos she creates go viral and have the potential to thrust her into the center of popularity, fortune and fame, Jodie is faced with a decision. She needs to choose whether to expose her identity and capitalize on the chance of being accepted by all those who have always shunned her, or run the risk of jeopardizing the only true relationships she’s ever had.
