The Upside of Unrequited is a 2017 young-adult novel[1] by American author Becky Albertalli.[2] It is her second novel and the second novel in the "Simonverse," the shared universe in which Albertalli's books take place. [3]
It revolves around the insecure Molly Peskin-Suso, who has had 26 unrequited crushes. Albertalli was loosely inspired by the novel Emma by Jane Austen and the film Clueless.[4]
The novel has been challenged due to its frank discussions and depictions of sexuality and LGBTQ+ content.
