Thirteen-year-old Stewart and 14-year-old Ashley could not be more different. Stewart is a quirky, gifted intellectual who is coping with the loss of his mother, while Ashley is a popular fashionista still reeling from her parents' divorce — brought about by her father's announcement that he is gay. And Ashley is convinced that if others at school find out that her dad is gay, her life will surely be over. When a serious relationship develops between Stewart's father and Ashley's mother, the two teens find themselves living under the same roof. They are complete opposites. And yet, they have one thing in common: they — like everyone else — are made of molecules.
By turns humorous and heartbreaking, the story is told in alternating chapters narrated by both protagonists. Their overlapping journeys unflinchingly tackle issues such as bullying, bigotry, and tolerance; the true nature of friendship; and what it means to be a family.
