From the bestselling New York Times bestselling author of Red, White and Royal Blue and One Last Stop comes a debut YA romantic comedy about chasing down what you want, only to find what you need . . .

'[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 from Willowgrove Christian Academy, 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.

Fierce, funny, and frank, Casey McQuiston’s I Kissed Shara Wheeler is about breaking the rules, getting messy, and finding love in unexpected places.

Critic Reviews

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimised by this funny, weird, razor-sharp, intensely compassionate, subversive, sweet, electrifyingly romantic knockout of a book. Casey freaking McQuiston, you've done it again.' (Becky Albertalli, bestselling author of Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda)

Shara Wheeler kisses several people and disappears, leaving a trail of annoying clues.
While the beginning of the book was a little slow and I sometimes wondered at the characters' motivations for finding the two dimensional Shara, the supporting characters, in typical McQuiston style, were engrossing, diverse and kept the pages turning.
The last section of the book, however, delivers the same kind of addictive and uplifting race to the finish line that I love from McQuiston's previous novels.
I will most likely read this again. The start of the book will be perhaps more interesting with a better understanding of Shara.

Joyously queer warm fuzzies

Can't say I enjoyed this one as much as the author's other two books. There wasn't the same level of banter and wit, and I really wondered what the point of Shara's deception was, and was intregued by the mystery of the clues but felt that it was a build up to nothing.
Maybe it's the highschool setting? Their other 2 books focus on protagonists a bit older (20s) and I think maybe I'm just not into reading about highschoolers anymore.
I still love Casey McQuiston, I just prefer Red White & Royal Blue and One Last Stop.

Just ok
