Three people have kissed Shara Wheeler, including Chloe Green. Chloe can’t stand Shara, and has been in competition with her for grades, and eventually Valedictorian, forever. But everything starts to change after Shara kisses her, because not only has Shara kissed Chloe, she’s also disappeared right after- and it’s up to Chloe to find her.

I really enjoyed this! RW and RB was amazing, but I wasn’t too fond of OLS. This was a good comeback! Even though this is YA, which I find harder to read nowadays, this wasn’t juvenile in any way. Chloe was a great character and reading her POV felt realistic and mature, she was funny and reflective. The story was interesting with diverse characters. I liked the mystery aspect as well. Chloe formed relationships throughout the story and the feelings of all the characters were so real and accurate. When Chloe was mad I was mad, when she understand how other characters felt and her opinion changed, mine did too. This book was really well written! It delved just enough into emotions and high school feelings and situations and how everyone isn’t how they seem at first. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.

I always forget how much I love mcquiston’s writing until I pick up one of their books…. This was a delight. The pacing, the tension, the cast of characters, love! Love love love!
