I Kissed Shara Wheeler

Product Information

In particular, the unlikely friendship that formed between Chloe, Smith and Rory as they followed Shara’s clues together. its about the home you make with your queer friend group, how you /see/ each other daily, even in places that refuse to see you. I learned that a lot of us—a lot more than I thought—are doing whatever it takes to survive in a place that doesn’t feel like it wants you. Shara represents the pressure many teenagers experience trying to maintain the image of perfection and what hides behind a girl who seemingly has everything. From Chloe and Georgia's friendship to Rory and Smith's reconciliation, and to literally all secondary ships in this book, they are just as amazing as the main one.

meeting alex claremont-diaz made me feel seen like never before; prince henry’s quiet bravery made me feel comfortable in my own skin. But thirty minutes before the prom court was announced, she saw her: Shara, rosy lips and a waterfall of almond-pink tulle, brushing past refreshments on her way to the door. It’s heartwarming knowing that kids will feel seen and understood, and I don’t want to say ‘normal’ -because “normal” is a bs societal construct- but that there isn’t anything wrong with them, and they most certainly aren’t alone. Primarily told through the eyes of an over-achieving, sassy, confident (seemingly) senior, who learns a lot about herself through the course of the story. This is just a bunch of perfectly normal stuff, suggesting the perfectly normal life of a perfectly normal girl.I'm also so happy that there are more and more books like this with MC's that are queer and not just the side characters. Right away, we are hit with trademark CMQ humor, clever and quick, sometimes sly and often times openly roasting Alabama and all similar conservative pockets of America where being different can be a curse, teenager or otherwise. I didn't grow up in a religious household, and diversity was in my family and friendship groups however there was a distinct lack of Lgbt representation anywhere, so books like these are phenomenal. I was a little trepidatious going into this one because while I have really loved both of Casey's adult books, I haven't really been vibing with YA quite as much as I once did.

Nos cuenta la historia de Shara, que desaparece un mes antes de la graduación, pero antes de desaparecer besa a Chloe. the characters are all effected by this, in how they come out and how they don't, both to the world and to themselves. It’s a smart story, and Chloe and Shara both prove to be quite perceptive about everyone except themselves.One classic Chloe line (when discussing Shara’s beauty with Smith): “A MOLE would think she’s beautiful Smith. Chloe hovers at the doorway; this isn’t her objective, but there’s a flower-patterned silk scrunchie next to the sink that she’s never seen before, no matter how many AP classes she’s spent glaring at the back of Shara’s head.

a love story to the queerness in yourself, how it is real and will always exist regardless of whether you can show it or not.I kept waiting for her moment, for growth, or something that would cement Chloe into my heart and mind, but it never happened.

La verdad es que Shara es un personaje complicado y difícil de entender/descifrar y eso hizo que la amara mucho.
