Best Teen Romances of 2015

WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT'S HIS NAME takes place in tiny Hawthorne, North Carolina, where high school geeks Lula and Rory share everything - sci-fi and fantasy fandom, an obsession with old X-Files episodes, and the feeling that they'll never quite fit in. Lula and Rory have no secrets from each other; after all, she knows he's gay, and he understands why she worships the mother that walked out on her. But then Lula discovers that Rory - her Rory, who maybe she's secretly had feelings for - has not only tried out for the football team, but has been having an affair with his middle-aged divorcee boss. With their friendship disrupted, Lula begins to question her very identity, and when she disappears in the middle of the night, Rory is left to survive on his own.
