I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston

Content Warnings - Ableist Language, Homophobia, and Religious Trauma I Kissed Shara Wheeler is about a girl named Chloe Green who is very close to winning. When her two moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she spent the past four years swerving away from gossipy classmates and moralistic management at her high school, Willowgrove Christian Academy. The one thing that has kept her going: winning valedictorian, and her only rival, the prom queen named Shara Wheeler, who is the principal’s perfect successor. But then, a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and then disappears. Casey McQuiston is one of my all-time favorite authors with the way that their humor and their characters just leap off the pages. I Kissed Shara Wheeler is an inspiring story of being unashamed of yourself and going after what you want as well as finding what you need along the way.
