The Upside of Unrequited
by Becky Albertalli
3.5 stars; I'm specifically rounding up my rating for diversity in sexual orientation and characters of color.
What I really appreciate about this book, I think, is how ordinary it is, in the absolute best way. It's predictable but realistic, relatable, and the diversity of the cast is simply another detail in an other perfectly straightforward teen coming-of-age/light romance novel. It's not revolutionary (except perhaps in the matter-of-fact inclusion of the aforementioned diversity), but it's pretty dang good.
