.LacyMB reviews IKissedSharaWheeler, casey_mcquiston's YA debut that features crisp writing and a charming teen mystery.
, is making their YA debut this month with, a novel that puts a similarly delicious queer spin on many of the traditional tropes of teen fiction.
Raised by two moms and openly bisexual, Chloe Green has felt out of place at her conservative Christian Alabama high school since her family moved back to her family’s hometown from California. But if Chloe knows one thing, it’s how to be the best, and she’s determined to sharpen her academic skills against the best there is: Shara Wheeler, the popular daughter of the school principal, would be valedictorian and general all-around teen princess.
The three have little in common, save for the series of obnoxiously pink cards left for each by Shara in the wake of her disappearance, all of which contain clues on how to find her—and occasionally harsh revelations about their respective relationships.
Furthermore, even the most charitable reading of Chloe’s endless obsession with Shara as sublimated attraction doesn’t excuse the way she essentially abandons all her own goals and ignores her other friends’ very real problems to chase after her. Their connection always feels vaguely toxic, and despite McQuiston’s best efforts, that feeling never fully goes away.
