Minden, csak nem oké
Ismerd meg Izzy O'Neillt! Elszegényedett árva, törekvő komikus és Rendkívüli Ringyó, már ha hihetünk a pletykaoldalaknak...
A 18 éves Izzy O'Neill mindig is tudta, hogy nem dédelgethet nagyratörő álmokat. Nem mehet főiskolára és nem vár rá nagy karrier. Ám egy nap a szerencse rámosolygott, és egy olyan lehetőség hullott az ölébe, ami az egész életét megváltoztathatja. De arra nem számított, hogy hamarosan minden reménye szertefoszlik...
Miután elég sokat mutató fotók látnak napvilágot róla és egy politikus fiáról egy kerti padon, rögtön minden figyelem rá irányul, gúnyolódások céltáblája lesz, és folyamatosan szembesülnie kell a megaláztatásokkal. Izzy eleinte megpróbál csak nevetni a dolgon - de ahogyan a mindennapos zaklatások egyre intenzívebbé válnak, hamar rájön, hogy az, ahogyan a világ kezeli a tinédzser lányokat, az egyáltalán nem oké. Minden, csak nem oké.

Funnier. Ruder. Angrier. Izzy O'Neill is back in the hilarious sequel to The Exact Opposite of Okay.
It's been two months since a leaked explicit photo got Izzy involved in a political sex scandal - and the aftershock is far from over. The Bitches Bite Back movement is gathering momentum as a forum for teenage feminists, and when a girl at another school has a sex tape shared online, once again Izzy leads the charge against the slut-shamer. This time she wants to change the state law on revenge porn.
Izzy and her best friend Ajita are as hilarious as ever, using comedy to fight back against whatever the world throws at them, but Izzy is still reeling from her slut-shaming ordeal, feeling angry beyond belief and wondering - can they really make a change?
For readers of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Doing It by Hannah Witton, Love Simon and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo.

Physics genius Caro Kerber-Murphy knows she's smart. With straight As and a college scholarship already in the bag, she's meeting her two dads' colossal expectations and then some. But there's one test she's never quite been able to ace: love. And when, in a particularly desperate moment, Caro discovers a (definitely questionable) scientific breakthrough that promises to make you irresistible to everyone around you, she wonders if this could be the key.
What happens next will change everything Caro thought she knew about chemistry - in the lab and in love. Is hot guy Haruki with her of his own free will? Are her feelings for her best friend Keiko some sort of side-effect? Will her dog, Sirius, ever stop humping her leg?
