Rakkaudessa, vetovoimassa ja suhteissa mikään ei ole yksinkertaista. Kolme on parillinen luku on kuin raikas tilannekomedia, joka uhkaa kääntyä hehkuvaksi kolmiodraamaksi, kun kaikki haluavat jotakuta toista jonkun toisen ohitse. Courtney "Coop" Cooper on koristähti, joka on rakastunut parhaaseen ystäväänsä Jupiteriin. Siksi hänen seurustelusuhteensa eivät kestä, ja kaikki tietävät sen - paitsi Jupiter. Mutta Jup tarjoaa maailman parasta lohtua, ja siksi Coop eroaa usein. Rae Evelyn Chin on uusi oppilas, joka lumoutuu sekä Jupiterista että Coopista. Ja se hämmentää Raeta. Jupiter Charity-Sanchez on koulun - kaupungin - universumin seksikkäin tyttö ja yhteiskunta-aktivisti, joka on pienestä asti tiennyt rakastavansa naisia. Hän on kärsivällisesti odottanut "sitä oikeaa": voisiko se olla Rae? Vai... Yksi tarina. Tarinassa kolme kertojaa. Ei helppoja ratkaisuja. Kun kyse on rakkaudesta, vetovoimasta ja suhteista, mikään ei ole yksinkertaista. Amerikkalaisen Nic Stonen Kolme on parillinen luku iskee varmuudella Nicola Yoonin ja Becky Albertallin faneihin. Kirjaa on kiitetty "teräväksi ja välttämättömäksi tarinaksi, sillä se tutkii nuorten elämää ja seksuaalisuuden, sukupuolen ja rodun risteyskohtia ja hämärtyneitä rajoja yhteiskunnassa, joka suosii selkeitä ja siistejä määritelmiä".
