But when Tom moves to town at the start of the school year, they have something unexpected in common--feelings for the same guy. Up until now Maggie and Nash they have always chosen each other, but what if winning someone's heart means losing their soul mate?
"Do not ignore a call from me when you know I am feeling neurotic about a boy. That is Best Friend 101." --Nash
Maggie and Nash are outsiders. She's overweight. He's out of the closet. The best of friends, they have seen each other through thick and thin, but when Tom moves to town at the start of the school year, they have something unexpected in common: feelings for the same guy. This warm, witty novel--with a clear, true voice and a clever soundtrack of musical references--sings a song of love and forgiveness.
