I Kissed Shara Wheeler 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 a puritanical administration at 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.
I Kissed Shara Wheeler is an entertaining romantic novel romped around involving a group of seniors at an Alabama high school of the conservative religeous sort. Chloe Green is a lesbian, the only one out of the closet in the school when her rival for class validictorian, Shara Wheeler kisses her and disappears a month before graduation. What follows is an entertaining journey, mystery, adventure that brings Chloe in contact with many people she had not known in her four years there after coming out from SoCal with her Moms.The majority of the book is clever and entertaining, but until the last quarter there is not much heart. All the heart and goodness comes out towards the end. I enjoyed this one, a bit more than Ms McQuiston’s previous One Last Stop. Good one.-john gilbert
After not 100% loving the last book (an adult romance) by this author (I liked it just didn’t love it how I thought I would), I was nervous going into a YA book written by them. I thought the premise sounded cute and I figured I would at least enjoy it, but in the end I freaking loved this book. I was pretty much hooked from the first page, and I loved guessing right along with the (many) cast of characters where the heck Shara was. This book is set in a small religious town in Alabama, where Chloe is the only person “out” at her Christian academy high school, and is the daughter of two women. I loved all of representation (we get a cast full of bisexual, Trans and non binary characters). I can’t speak for how the representation of those characters was done, and would suggest seeking out reviewers in the community for a more in depth review. This was a really quick read; it was a little bit mystery and a little bit romcom funny. I loved Chloe as a MC, she is someone I would have loved to have as a friend in HS.-Reese
