I Kissed Shara Wheeler ~ Casey McQuiston ☆ Book Review

Hello,

I have finally finished the last book off my Autumn TBR; Honestly, reading the synopsis I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to pick this one up now – if it’d fit my reading mod and all that.. but I quite enjoyed it! Definately more light than I would’ve had pictured.

4 / 5 stars ⭐️

I found our 3 main characters to be quite fun to observe, I liked Chloe having the similar drive of Rohan in Today Tonight Tomorrow; would do EVERYTHING to be Valedictorian, such as going into full-on in-dept adventure following pink cards to find her back. The rivalry between Smith & Rory was entertaining at times, and I definately got to like them more once we learnt more about them, such as their past with Shara and all that.

Now, for Chloe to go to a Christian’s focus school to get the best education, despite being a not-religious person with two mothers? I could never. It really needed LOTS of dedications, and i’d add that it was kinda sad to see all those queer kids oppress themselves and not realising they were indeed what they were because of the “way of the christ”.. forcing themselves to be someone they weren’t because that’s just how it was in false beach.

The pink letter hunt though !! Shara had truly went overboard with her placements, and always writing in codes to not give away where the next one was.. the position she put our three MCs into was quite hilarious at time. What she overshared, and the reason behind this whole thing ?? Wow, I was impressed – how could she knew it’d even work??
Spoiler: (like invading the director’s office by the air vents??! I kinda always wanted to try that too but darn.. I also giggled like a mad person when Chloe finally found her, and threw her off of the boat, in the water, after kissing her XD )

The ending was so sweet- melt my heart how they all got together and supporting each other in their queerness over the unfairness of the Principal Wheeler; because not all christian communities hates LGBTQ+. Everyone being true with themselves, getting the person they love, was the absolute best way to end this book 🥰

Light and humoristic at times, it was quite an enjoyeable read with good final intentions. I definately teared up aswell as giggled a few times while reading!
