Julie Murphy knows a thing or two about navigating the worlds of girls on the brink of self-discovery., Praise for SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY: "Honest and unflinching, this is a compelling story of one teen's struggle with cancer, love, and living. Either way, Ramona will discover that, for her, life and love are more fluid than they seem. With her growing affection for Freddie making her question her sexual identity, Ramona begins to wonder if perhaps she likes girls and guys or if this new attraction is just a fluke. But as Ramona falls in love with swimming, her feelings for Freddie begin to shift too, which is the last thing she expected. Ramona's friendship with the former competitive swimmer picks up exactly where it left off, and soon he's talked her into joining him for laps at the pool. The return of her childhood friend Freddie brings a welcome distraction. Now, with her sister, Hattie, pregnant, responsibility weighs more heavily than ever.
But juggling multiple jobs, her flaky mom, and her well-meaning but ineffectual dad forces her to be the adult of the family.
Standing over six feet tall with unmistakable blue hair, Ramona is sure of three things: she likes girls, she's fiercely devoted to her family, and she knows she's destined for something bigger than the trailer she calls home in Eulogy, Mississippi. Since then, it's been Ramona and her family against the world. Ramona was only five years old when Hurricane Katrina changed her life forever.
Perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell and Morgan Matson. From Julie Murphy, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin' and Side Effects May Vary, comes another fearless heroine, Ramona Blue, in a gorgeously evocative novel about family, friendship, and how sometimes love can be more fluid than you first think.
