Oh to live out a toxic teenage rivalry purely fuelled with academic validation and obsessive infatuation…

I Kissed Shara Wheeler out of context:
“We got sidetracked doing a mozzarella stick tasting”
“Chloe, we’re gay. We can’t do math.”
“Once in a generation, there is a bisexual who can do math. You’re the chosen one.”
“Absolute wrecking ball bitch”
“Not unless you’re into marriage dramas about straight white people who can’t stop having affairs.”
“You know I’m always on horny monster watch for you.”
“Oh, you’re a cilantro hater”
“You know what else smells amazing? Sharpies. Like, a fresh one, when it’s juicy.”
“She’s gay, Your Honor!”
“It kind of sounds like she’s the megabitch of your dreams.”

I like to think Brooklyn is a White House Intern during the last year of Ellen Claremont's 2nd term. I reckon Smith and Shara would be on the front lines of the "History, Huh?" movement. I think Chloe cheered so hard she spilled her soda on her roommate's carpet when she watched Alex's speech and heard him say "I'm the First Son of the United States and I'm bisexual. History will remember us". I think Ash and a few of their uni friends painted a mural of Prince Henry in an underpass after the story broke and it went viral (and I like to think Alex printed it out and has it stuck up on his desk through the better part of his time in law school). Idk I think it would be fun if they were in the same world

Me reading chapter 1: Oh I bet Chloe is just being overdramatic and presumptuous and Shara is actually a nice girl with more depth than Chloe thinks
Me by chapter 12: Shara Wheeler is a vicious bitch and maybe a sociopath
Me by chapter 17: Oh they’re both batshit insane and they’re //perfect// for each other

“Who is she when, for once, no one is looking?”
- I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
This book goes on sale tomorrow, and all I can say is that Casey is three for three on books that make me roll with laughter, choke up, and surge with hope. Unlike RWRB and OLS, Shara Wheeler is a YA novel, but it never underestimates its reader, delivering a plot that makes you just about as obsessed as Chloe is with the hunt for the missing prom queen, Shara. This story tackles religious conservativism, gender/sexual identity, the red state/blue state divide, among other themes, but the theme that spoke most to me was about truly seeing people as they are, as opposed to through the filter we unwittingly apply through a combination of social conditioning and our own hidden wounds.
For that reason, I painted Chloe seeing Shara through a looking glass. <3
I can’t recommend this one enough y’all. Grown-up readers: You will love it too! (I sure did!)
PS: Easter eggs abound….👀
