We Are All Made of Molecules 
Fourteen-year-old Ashley is the undisputed “It” girl in her class, but her grades stink.
Their worlds are about to collide when Stewart and his dad move in with Ashley and her mom. Stewart is trying to be 89.9 percent happy about it, but Ashley is 110 percent horrified. She already has to hide the real reason her dad moved out; “Spewart” could further threaten her position at the top of the social ladder.
They are complete opposites. And yet, they have one thing in common: they—like everyone else—are made of molecules.
PRODUCT PLACEMENT QUESTION - IS THIS NOW A THING?Now I was innocently thinking that the concept of product placement would not really apply to books - I mean I can't see Givenchy calling up Sarah Waters' agent with a great deal although I can see a nice comedy sketch you could write - but anyway, I found a genuine product placement thing right here in this very book page 194. It's the summer holidays and Georgia my daughter has finished her exams and can now read novels again - so she was

I decided to pick this book up mainly because an author friend of mine whom I respect and adore wrote this on her Facebook page: "I think tearing up on PAGE 2 of a book has to be a record for me. Seriously, from a smile to a gasp in like 200 or so words is not what normally happens to me at the beginning of reading a book. But yeah, these last 24 or so hours have been filled with those moments." And because I am a sucker for emotionally gutting stories and I always trust Joanne Levy's opinions,
This book was so sweet - it's perfect for someone about to go into high school. The characters weren't so lovable at first but somewhere throughout the book you start to feel like you really know them. I also appreciated the subtle lgbt parts.
It's a great feel-good novel. Most of new YA novels are about romance and finding "the one" etc. This one is all about family and it's GREAT! I loved it from start to finish, I like that we get two points of view. I loved the innocence I had to laugh a bit for myself sometimes just because it was a bit cute/adorable.
It would be so easy to say that Stewart was adorable and Ashley was horrible, but it's not as black-and-white as that. Although Ashley is unlikeable because of her reaction to Stewart and his dad, Stewart isn't perfect in comparison. I really liked that this was dual perspective first-person, and the family dynamic was so unique and fun. I'm so pleased that story all about family are out there, and this has definitely encouraged me to find more of them!

Thanks to Penguin UK for providing me a physical copy for a review.This book is amazing. It is so fast-pace and fun. I loved the story and I couldn't put this book down. But, I didn't like Ashley in the beggining at all, and Jared was clearly just using Stewart to get Ashley. The writing was very good. Stewart was weird, but in a good way. I like this book a lot, it is so heartwarming, and I recommend it to anyone.PRODUCT PLACEMENT QUESTION - IS THIS NOW A THING?Now I was innocently thinking that the concept of product placement would not really apply to books - I mean I can't see Givenchy calling up Sarah Waters' agent with a great deal although I can see a nice comedy sketch you could write - but anyway, I found a genuine product placement thing right here in this very book page 194.
