Leah on the Offbeat meets We Are Okay in this pitch-perfect queer romance about falling in love and never quite falling out of it - heartbreak, unexpected new crushes, and all.
Before Quinn Ryan was in love with Jamie Rudawski, she loved Jamie Rudawski, who was her best friend. But when Jamie dumps Quinn a month before their senior year, Quinn is suddenly girlfriend-less and best friend-less.
Enter a new crush: Ruby Ocampo, the gorgeous and rich lead singer of the popular band Sweets, who's just broken up with her on-again, off-again boyfriend. Quinn's always only wanted to be with Jamie, but if Jamie no longer wants to be with her, why can't Quinn go all in on Ruby? But the closer Quinn grows to Ruby, the more she misses Jamie, and the more (she thinks) Jamie misses her. Who says your first love can't be your second love, too?
Katie Heaney is a full-time senior writer for The Cut, a former editor at BuzzFeed, and the author of the memoirs Never Have I Ever: My Life (So Far) Without a Date and Would You Rather? Girl Crushed is her YA debut.

Critic reviews
"The pacing is spot-on, and the exploration of lesbian relationships - particularly post-breakup - is handled deftly. Fresh and charming." (Kirkus Reviews)
"This charming romance also addresses the all-too-common practice of discounting or ignoring the queer identity of people in hetero relationships, the complicated road back to friendship after a romantic relationship ends, and the importance of adjusting expectations as you go." (SLJ)
“Hilarious and heartbreaking, often all at once. I loved Girl Crushed, which radiates with humor, awkwardness, and heart. It’s a joy to have Katie Heaney’s voice in young adult literature.” (Amy Spalding, best-selling author of The Summer of Jordi Perez)

It's not a bad story, and it's kinda covering important experiences. People actively dealing with insecurities and expectations, but in realistic ways. (Definitely not healthy ways.) I think it has a lot of good in it, but at the same time I'm like "What is the point?" Cus it's not like the love interests seem all that compatible with the main character, and she borderline lies to them about the smallest most unimportant things seem so unneeded. It's just a lot of the small stuff that leaves me conflicted. I just got mixed feelings, even if it isn't a bad story.
It certainly a story.
