She loves him.

He loves her not.

Molly Swain is hopelessly in love. Mark is broody, mysterious, funny, attractive, artistic - basically the only interesting thing in her small Minnesota town. She wonders to herself if they'll ever be more than lab partners...until the fateful day that she discovers they'll both be moving to New York City after they graduate. Clearly, they're meant to be together. Right?

Wrong. In Minnesota, Mark has a secret. And in New York, Molly discovers it. Not only is she not his type, she's not even the right gender. But does she immediately fall out of love with him? If only life were that easy...

A smart, funny heartfelt novel about falling in love with someone who will never feel the same way - and how to recover with your pride, hope, and friendship intact.

A Summer 2008 Book Sense Pick: "This heartfelt, funny, and surprising teen novel follows small-town Molly as she heads for college in New York City and learns that her permanent crush, a handsome, artistic boy, is interested in finding a boyfriend of his own. Molly's story is all about bouncing back, stretching her wings away from home, and finding that even cloudy heartbreak can hold the silver lining of new friendship."
