This was such a frustrating read. I am so glad it's over. I didn't like the characters for being so obsessed with finding Shara. Then we find out that the boys were not obsessed with her and only Chloe was the one haunted by Shara. The group members of "I Kissed Shara Wheeler" are all annoying especially Shara and Chloe. Chloe and Shara's relationship is so toxic that I did not understand why Chloe was so consumed by her and wanted to find Shara. Yes, I know that she actually likes Shara, and also Chloe wanted to be the one who is valedictorian; however, it still did not make sense. Chloe could've ditched Shara and focused on her studies instead, and she would've easily became valedictorian without chasing Shara. Shara is so self-centered and mean. If I were Chloe I wouldn't even bother looking for Shara. By the end of the book, it gotten a tad better. That doesn't mean I'm giving this book a good rating. I enjoyed reading about how all the seniors teamed up to take down the principal, and how they had their own graduation. I also liked Chloe's friends and how they were all caring and supportive of each other. The reason I kept reading is because I wanted to see how it ends. It took me a long time to finish reading because I wasn't particularly enjoying this book. I am glad it's over. Next time if I'm not enjoying a book I'm going to consider not finishing it.

**Spoilers**
The main characters of Chloe and Shara were hard for me to like, be interested in, or want to follow throughout the book. Wanted more of Smith and Rory's story, maybe from
both of their perspectives. Also, wanted more from the characters of Georgia and Summers relationship. Would have read a story of Chloe's Moms before wanting to read more from the the unlikable, selfish Shara or annoying Chloe.

Bonus points for this one being set in Alabama with references to Waffle House and how it’s always hot here.

(4.5) This book felt like a really loving, corny, warm hug except with a cold hard slap of obsessive homoerotic rivalry on the side.
