A romance told in two voices. The first time Juli Baker saw Bryce Loski, she flipped. The first time Bryce saw Juli, he ran. That's pretty much the pattern for these two neighbors until the eighth grade, when, just as Juli is realizing Bryce isn't as wonderful as she thought, Bryce is starting to see that Juli is pretty amazing. How these two teens manage to see beyond the surface of things and come together makes for a comic and poignant romance.

Which means: it’s been around the block, seen some things, maybe cried in a few backpacks, and definitely judged its previous owner’s taste. Lower your expectations —this is not a shiny, fresh‑off‑the‑press Instagram prop. It’s a survivor. It may have creases — battle scars from readers who couldn’t put it down. It may have notes in the margins — unsolicited commentary from strangers who thought they were philosophers. It may have coffee stains — proof that someone once tried to be aesthetic and failed. It may smell faintly of nostalgia — or just dust, we don’t control that part. It may have bent corners — because someone before you didn’t believe in bookmarks. It may look tired — same, honestly. So yes, lower your expectations. But raise your appreciation. Because a pre‑loved book is proof that stories don’t need to be shiny to be worth it. ✅All purchases are final. No returns, no exchanges, no negotiating with customer service (it’s literally just me).
