Set against a backdrop of politics, family, and first love, this is a story of personal responsibility, complicated romance, and trying to discover who you are even as everyone tells you who you should be. Does she turn to the family she barely knows, the boy she knows but doesn’t necessarily trust, or face a third, even scarier option?
But who is Kate? When what she truly believes flies in the face of the campaign’s talking points, she must decide. Suddenly, Kate’s moving in with a family she never knew she had, joining a campaign in support of a man she hardly knows, and falling for a rebellious boy who may not have the purest motives. So when the unexpected shows up in her living room, Kate must confront another reality she never thought possible-or thought of at all. Kate Quinn’s mom died last year, leaving Kate parentless and reeling. For fans of Sarah Dessen and Huntley Fitzpatrick comes this smart debut young adult novel, equal parts My Life Next Door and The Princess Diaries-plus a dash of The West Wing.
