About this ebook

“It’s rare that a book can be as funny and absolutely delightful as it is moving and thought provoking, and Anatomy of a Misfit is both.” —Lauren Oliver, author of Before I Fall

Anika Dragomir is the third-most-popular girl at Pound High School. But inside, she knows she’s a freak; she can’t stop thinking about former loner Logan McDonough, who showed up on the first day of tenth grade hotter, bolder, and more mysterious than ever.

Logan is fascinating, troubled, and off limits. The Pound High queen bee will make Anika’s life hell if she’s seen with him.

So Anika must choose—ignore her feelings and keep her social status? Or follow her heart and risk becoming a pariah. Which will she pick?

And what will she think of her choice when an unimaginable tragedy strikes, changing her forever? Part Morgan Matson, part Nicola Yoon, this incredible YA voice narrates a story Teen Vogue calls “perfection in book form.”


She thinks her biggest problem is choosing between popularity and the boy nobody wants her to love. But what happens when tragedy makes that choice for her?


  • Misfit Romance: Anika is the third-most-popular girl at Pound High, but she can't stop thinking about former loner Logan McDonough—the one person who sees the freak she feels she is on the inside.

  • Funny and Heartbreaking: A story that balances a sharp, witty voice with an unforgettable tragedy that will change Anika, and the reader, forever.
  • First Love and Impossible Choices: Anika must decide between the safety of her social status and the thrill of a secret relationship. But her choice has consequences she could never imagine.
