Odd One Out by Nic Stone
Unfortunately, I'm calling this one a DNF just under 100 pages.
This was my first Nic Stone book and an ARC at that, which I was very excited to get into, but my biggest and almost sole issue is that there's no plot pushing the story forward. Others who like LGBTQ+ stories regardless of what the plot or conflict is will probably still enjoy this one and may even find a strong connection to the characters, but alas I wasn't one of them. I hope between now and publication, Stone speeds up the story and adds more conflict around the love triangle so readers can be gripping the book wondering how the dynamic will work out.
Thank you to Penguin Teen for sending me an ARC to review
