Description
Casey McQuiston's I Kissed Shara Wheeler is about breaking the rules, getting messy, and finding love in unexpected places. Perfect for fans of Heartstopper, this is the debut YA queer rom-com from the bestselling author of Red, White and Royal Blue.
'A razor-sharp, intensely compassionate, subversive, sweet, electrifyingly romantic knockout of a book' - Becky Albertalli, author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda
A month before graduating, the principal's perfect daughter, prom queen Shara Wheeler, kisses Chloe Green - and vanishes.
On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she's not the only one Shara kissed. There's also Smith, Shara's long-time sweetheart, and Rory, Shara's bad-boy neighbour with a crush.
Thrown into an unlikely alliance, Chloe, Smith and Rory follow Shara's trail of annoyingly cryptic clues, and Chloe starts to suspect that there might be more to this small town - and to Shara - than she thought . . .
This edition includes brand new bonus content, giving behind-the-scenes insight into Casey's creative process.
