Read by Tony Award-nominated performer Caitlin Kinnunen (The Prom) and Emmy Award-nominated actress Shannon Purser (Stranger Things, Riverdale).

Bestselling, award-winning rom-com queen Becky Albertalli returns with Something Unpredictable, where two romances are woven together into one unforgettable novel with a surprising twist.

'An absolute delight' - Rachael Lippincott, author of Five Feet Apart

'Smart, surprising, and emotionally devastating in the best way' - Page Powars, author of And They Were Roommates

Jane has fallen in love too many times – and always with straight girls. If there’s one thing she knows, it’s that shooting her shot leads to guaranteed heartbreak. So that's it: she’s going to be single forever (even if her goofball friend Phoebe gives her butterflies).

Ellie has never really been in love. Then one night she stumbles upon wry tomboy Ashley – hiding in the mall. Soon, squeaky clean Ellie finds herself drawn into Ashley’s secret world, lying to her own parents and friends to spend more and more time with her. But that’s just because Ashley needs her, right? After all, Ellie’s always considered herself to be straight . . .

In this dual-POV novel, from the author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, two teen girls navigate friendship, first love, and identity – and soon learn that there's nothing more unpredictable than what the heart wants.

Critic reviews

Something Unpredictable is, quite simply, an absolute delight. Relatable, sweet, and perfectly captures the magic of teen romance in a way only Becky Albertalli can. You’ll be smiling from start to twisty, wonderful finish. I’m pretty sure my lesbian heart grew three sizes from reading it.
Smart, surprising, and emotionally devastating in the best way. Something Unpredictable is the perfect example of queer love finding you exactly when you're ready for it.
There is no young adult author today writing with the authenticity, empathy, and heart of Becky Albertalli. She is a defining voice in queer literature who just keeps delivering hit after hit, and Something Unpredictable is another entry into her canon of queer teen stories that focus on the many different ways to come out, be out, and live truthfully to yourself. My life would have been totally different if I had these books as a teenager--but I'm sure glad we all have them now. (Mackenzi Lee, New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue )
