About I Kissed Shara Wheeler
Two high school seniors couldn’t be more different or more competitive with each other. Chloe is a Californian transplant to False Beach, AL. She’s out as bi, child of two moms, not Christian, and unwilling to be anyone other than her prickly, driven self, determined to be class valedictorian.
Her only competitor is Shara Wheeler, daughter of their Christian school’s principal and pastor. Girl next door beautiful, dating the school’s star quarterback, do-gooder and seemingly perfect embodiment of her town’s ideals.
Shara disappears during Prom. And Chloe is determined to find out why. What she does instead is discover that Shara’s left clues for herself, Smith – the quarterback boyfriend, and Rory, Smith’s former BF and Shara’s neighbor who’s crushed on her for years.
Through untangling the clues and their feelings about Shara and each other, lots of revelations and realizations happen.
