The Law of Tall Girls by Joanne Macgregor (first published in 2017)
Peyton Lane is tall girl who needs to date a tall boy to win a bet to get the money she needs to pay for college. No mean feat for a 17-year-old whose outer composure is hanging on by a thread as it is.
Enter Jay Young, not only is he drop dead gorgeous and popular, he’s also built like an A class basketball player: even taller than Peyton herself, who towers over everyone.

Peyton discovers that Jay is not like every other boy she’s met, and for the first time she lets someone from the outside in on her humiliating secret.
