Jamie Parker feels like she doesn't belong anywhere. She's an 9th-grade outcast-overweight, struggling with grades, and the constant target of cruel pranks from the popular kids. Even in her small-town LGBTQ+ circle, Jamie's crush on Butch girls makes her an odd one out. But nothing stings more than the rejection from her deeply religious mother, who refuses to accept Jamie for who she is.
After yet another humiliating day at school, Jamie finds herself standing on the edge of a cliff, drowning in hopelessness. She's ready to give up-until a voice stops her. It's Sammy, the confident, athletic, and wildly popular Butch girl Jamie never dared to dream would notice her.
What does Sammy want? Is she here to help-or to hurt?
In this heartfelt and relatable story, Jamie must navigate the storm of high school, self-acceptance, and uncharted emotions. Will Sammy be the lifeline Jamie desperately needs? Or will this encounter push her over the edge for good?
"Outside the Circle" is a raw and moving exploration of identity, self-worth, and the power of connection. Perfect for fans of young adult LGBTQ+ fiction, this story will leave readers rooting for Jamie to find her place-and her voice-in a world that feels stacked against her.
Take the leap into Jamie's world and discover what happens when courage meets the unexpected.
