Love and Leftovers by Sarah Tregay

2012/451pgs

Marcie's mom has made her up and move and leave all her friends, and her cute boyfriend, behind. Her father left her mother for a younger man, her mother is depressed and Marcie is feeling lonely. So when she meets JD and he shows an interest in her, Marcie allows her crush to take over. But she can't break up with Linus who's back home-he's too sweet and she can't do it over the phone. But what if Linus is gay like her dad because he never wants to go as far as JD? And why does being a teenager have to be so confusing?

A compelling novel in verse that doesn't shy away from tough topics and relationships.
