i got sucked IN. in the two days that i read this (june 4th and april 17th) all i wanted to do was sit down and continue to read it. honestly, i wasn’t sure if i’d like this one (even though i loooved rwrb and ols) but it surprisingly shocked me!!

love love love, it’s the kind of book you never want to put down and just want to jump in the universe with the characters.

With "I Kissed Shara Wheeler", McQuiston has finally found their stride as an author. McQuiston's books thus far have all focused on a queer love story, and this one is the best of the bunch. It's protagonist and antagonist are both fully fleshed out characters and you find yourself rooting for both of them at separate times throughout the story. The best part of the this book in particular, is that the voices of each supporting character are strong. They're not like the characters in "One Last Stop" which to me, felt like caricatures of trying to check off diversity boxes. In "I Kissed Shara Wheeler", the company of revolving characters is what makes the book so good, as we're given a clear picture into who they are, and WHY they are that way. It's rare for me to read a book in a 24 hour period and frankly, I'm so glad that this book captivated me so much that I just couldn't put it down! Couldn't have asked for a better first read for 2022.
