From the New York Times bestselling author of One Last Stop and Red, White & Royal Blue comes a debut YA 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 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'm actually shocked at how much I'm in love with this book. I'm usually hard to please, but I can't resist a puzzle!
Chloe is a Virgo, I'm so sure, and she gets wrapped up in a mystery with sad-boy-bad-boy Rory and quarterback legend Smith. The three of them begrudgingly team up to follow Shara's clues to find out where she is.
The characters are quick, the humor is light and casual; it's an easy read with plenty of chuckles. It's a bit heavy handed with references to modern day trendy bits in some parts, but overall I highly recommend this book. It doesn't take itself too seriously but definitely acts like a mystery page flipper!
(I finished it! I couldn't put it down. It was a great read with a great ending. I loved how it all unfolded and it was a hilarious time throughout. I highly recommend this book to tweens, teens, and adults. I'm already trying to shove this one off to all of my friends- it's that good!)
Boring book

I thought I would really like this book to see who actually got the girl but the book couldn’t keep my focus, it was boring. I couldn’t even read the rest of the book.
