Laura Steven simultaneously destroyed the patriarchy and made me laugh so hard I choked. I will protect Izzy O'Neill with my life. -Becky Albertalli, author of SIMON VS. THE HOMO SAPIENS AGENDABitingly funny and shockingly relevant, The Exact Opposite of Okay is a bold, brave, and necessary read for fans of Louise ONeill and Jennifer Mathieu.Eighteen-year-old Izzy ONeill knows exactly who she is-a loyal friend, an aspiring comedian, and a person who believes that milk shakes and Reeses peanut butter cups are major food groups. But after shes caught in a compromising position with the son of a politician, it seems like everyone around her is eager to give her a new label: slut.Izzy is certain that the whole thing will blow over and she can get back to worrying about how she doesnt reciprocate her best friend Dannys feelings for her and wondering how she is ever going to find a way out of their small town. Only it doesnt.And while shes used to laughing her way out of any situation, as she finds herself first the center of high school gossip and then in the middle of a national scandal, its hard even for her to find humor in the situation.Izzy may be determined not to let anyone else define who she is, but that proves easier said than done when it seems like everyone has something to say about her.
