Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl by Brianna R. Shrum

Margo Zimmerman Gets the Girl is an adorable young adult sapphic romance. As they spend more time together it becomes clear that soon they'll just want each other. Margo offers to tutor Abbie in exchange for “Queer 101” lessons. Abbie Sokoloff has been out and proud for a long time, but a failing grade in US History threatens her dream school acceptance.

Margo Zimmerman recently realized she was a lesbian, but doesn't know how to be gay. I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Note: I originally wrote my review during the HarperCollins strike, but have misplaced where I saved it on my computer so this will be shorter/more condensed than others until I can do a reread. If you liked She Gets the Girl, this has similar vibes but neurodivergent, queer, Jewish, and more sex! This was really funny and I laughed out loud lots of times. I loved how seamlessly Margo being autistic and Jewish was weaved into the story and how Abbie's BFF is slowly revealed as the asshole she really is, and how the reader realizes how lonely poor Abbie is, despite the confident hot queer girl vibes. I loved Margo in all her sweet naive baby dykeness right away Abbie got off to a rough start (intentionally, I think, on the authors' part) so if you're a bit wary of her at first, keep reading. Margo is an overachiever who wants to ace her newfound gayness, so she enlists Abbie, a tomboy skater girl who's been out as queer forever to 'teach her how to be gay' Abbie needs help bringing up her grade in history, a subject Margo loves, so it's an even trade. A delightful and surprisingly horny/sex-positive queer YA romance / coming of gayge book where two opposites-attract teen girls fall for each other.
