To get the girl, first you have to find her.
content warnings: includes mild spoilers
I Kissed Shara Wheeler explores a very specific teenage experience: coming of age queer at a conservative Christian school in the southern United States. In the world of queer fiction, repressive religious environments are well-traveled territory, so I doubt there’s much in this book you won’t be expecting once you know its setting. But I do want to tell you that I did my best to approach the world of Shara with a lot of love and a lot of humor. The issues listed below are handled with care, but I like to think they are also cushioned with enough laughs to make the read a fun one. Don’t be scared! We’re in this together.
Homophobia, Evangelical Christianity, religious homophobia, religious trauma, discussions of racism and misogyny, mentions of past off-page outing of an adult supporting character, threatened outing of supporting character (avoided), underage drinking
