I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston

A Novel

Good, 4 stars

A month before graduation from Willowgrove Christian Academy in small-town Alabama, Chloe Green, a bisexual girl with two moms who moved from Los Angeles and is the school's only out student, is set on beating Shara Wheeler, the principal's perfect, beloved daughter, for valedictorian. Then Shara kisses her and vanishes, leaving a trail of notes. Chloe teams up with Shara's quarterback boyfriend, Smith, and Rory, the bad-boy neighbor, both of whom Shara has also kissed, to follow the clues, and finds that Shara and the town are hiding far more than she expected.
