"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."— John Green

The Difference Between You and Me 
by Madeleine George
Publication Date: March 15, 2012

         Jesse hears the squeal of the bathroom door swinging wide on its hinges, feels the rush of air around her that is suddenly sucked through the room when it opens.
         And then, Snediker's high, mirthless whine:
         "Busted."
(Pg. 16)








-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This book is hilarious and heartbreaking and hopeful all at the same time.  Definitely a great edition to any contemporary YA collection.  This looks at a GLBT relationship in a refreshingly realistic way.  The writing is really interesting, as it switches perspectives and style with each chapter.  Some people may find that distracting, but I love this kind of detail; it's really giving me a clear view of each main character!  I really suggest everyone check this out!
