Something Like Possible by Miel Moreland

TWs: sexual assault (nongraphic/not on page),predatory behavior & grooming (teacher), implied self harm, homophobia & biphobia, bullying, outing
This book made me want to be a campaign manager. Madison's character was so strong, and her passion for campaign managing makes me think that the author must've also wanted that at some point... or at least researched very well for this book. I loved how Madison never compromised her future for anyone, because FINALLY a main character in a romance book that actually has a spine!! Her and Victoria's romance was also really really sweet.
Despite the positives, this book had some serious pacing issues. The synopsis makes it seem like the "pattern of harassment" towards queer girls is a major part of the story, but it only really kicks in at around 80%. I think that all the plot threads do wrap-up by the end of the book, but this specific element feels a little out of nowhere, even if it is an important story. The synopsis just gave me false expectations, so if you go in without them you might have a better experience with this book.
Overall, though, still a great read!
Thank you to PenguinTeen and NetGalley for an eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
