A YALSA BEST FICTION FOR YOUNG ADULTS BOOK OF THE YEAR
A CBC Kids' Top Ten Favorite in 9th-12th grade category
Jared Peter Christensen is running for president (of the Junior Class Council at his university, but still). His platform is solid--built on increased equity and inclusion in all sectors of campus life--and he's got a good chance of beating the deeply conservative business major he's running against.
But when a transfer student enters the race, she calls Jared out for his big-talk/little-action way of moving. Dylan's accusations make him question just how "woke" he really is. But what's the right way to bring about change? As the campaign heats up, feelings are caught, and juicy secrets come to light, and Jared writes letters to his deceased friend Manny, hoping to make sense of his confusion. What's a white boy to do when love and politics collide? Will he have to choose between his head and his heart?
