I Kissed Shara Wheeler: A Novel by Casey McQuiston
*INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *INSTANT #1 INDIE BESTSELLER* *INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER* From the New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop and Red, White & Royal Blue comes a romantic comedy about chasing down what you want, only to find what you need... Chloe Green is so close to winning. After her moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she’s spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and the puritanical administration of Willowgrove Christian Academy. The thing that’s kept her going: winning valedictorian. Her only rival: prom queen Shara Wheeler, the principal’s perfect progeny. But a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and vanishes. On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she’s not the only one Shara kissed. There’s also Smith, Shara’s longtime quarterback sweetheart, and Rory, Shara’s bad boy neighbor with a crush. The three have nothing in common except Shara and the annoyingly cryptic notes she left behind, but together they must untangle Shara’s trail of clues and find her. It’ll be worth it, if Chloe can drag Shara back before graduation to beat her fair and square. Thrown into an unlikely alliance, chasing a ghost through parties, break-ins, puzzles, and secrets revealed on monogrammed stationery, Chloe starts to suspect there might be more to this small town than she thought. And maybe―probably not, but maybe―more to Shara, too. Fierce, funny, and frank, Casey McQuiston's I Kissed Shara Wheeler is about breaking the rules, getting messy, and finding love in unexpected places. "An unfettered joy to read." - The New York Times "McQuiston has done it again." - USA Today "You won't want to miss." - Good Housekeeping Read more
I grew up in the South. I went to a Christian all girls high school, which was thankfully staffed with Richmond VA liberals who believed in giving a solid, well rounded education to their students. Still, it was the 90s, and I got the message everywhere--people like me shouldn't exist. CMQ has written a different book here, tackling something they've skirted up against before with Henry's character in RWRB--the fact that many queer people grow up feeling like they shouldn't exist, that something is wrong with them, that they'll never quite belong. This time, they wrote that story with high school kids who weren't enormously privileged. They have decent homes and enough money to get to private school, but they're trapped in the world of their parents, a world that doesn't really have a place for them. This book is about them making space for themselves. I wish I'd had this book when I was sixteen and not out, miserable, my body on high alert every day thinking someone would find me out, peel away my mask, and find out who I really was. I know there are going to be a lot of reviews railing against Shara, but boy is she relatable. When you're a queer kid with no support system, that stuff builds up inside you that you feel like you're going to fling yourself into the sun. I didn't grow up with a queer community. There wasn't such a thing. This gave me a vision of what that might be like, what the future might be like for my kids. It made the 16 year old kid inside me feel not so terribly, terribly alone. Beautifully done. Thank you. Thank you so much, from the very bottom of my gay little heart.
