Summary: For all of Chloe Green's high school career, she has been battling two things: 1) puritanical administration that does not accept Chloe's queer identity and 2) Shara Wheeler for top spot in the class to become valedictorian. But then Shara kisses Chloe, vanishes, and leaves behind a trail of cryptic notes. In order to win valedictorian fair and square, Chloe teams up with an unlikely group to solve the mystery and find Shara Wheeler.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

This book hit all the right places. The author did a great job representing tough topics and creating complex characters that were not perfect but trying to be better. Even the side characters were well developed and likeable.

Things I enjoyed
- Meaningful friendships beyond just the romantic relationships
- The mystery of following Shara's clues
- Well-written humor perfect for the YA genre

I had moments of frustration with the main character's rivalry and pettiness (lol) but I also had to remind myself that she is a high school student dealing with a lot of adversity - plus, she did eventually have her moments of growth

Trigger warnings: homophobia, religious trauma, cheating
