From the creator of the hit TV series The Bold Type comes an empowering
and heartfelt novel about a future female president's senior
year of high school.
Ava, CJ, Jordan, and Martha (listed in alphabetical order out of
fairness) have been friends since kindergarten. Now they're in their
senior year, facing their biggest fears about growing up and
growing apart. But there's more than just college on the horizon.
One of these girls is destined to become the president of the United
States. The mystery, of course, is which girl gets the gig.
Is it Ava, the picture-perfect artist who's secretly struggling to
figure out where she belongs? Or could it be CJ, the one who's
got everything figured out...except how to fix her terrible SAT scores?
Maybe it's Jordan, the group's resident journalist, who knows
she's ready for more than their small Ohio suburb can offer.
And don't overlook Martha, who will have to overcome all the obstacles
that stand in the way of her dreams.
This is the story of four best friends who have one another's backs
through every new love, breakup, stumble, and success--proving
that great friendships can help young women achieve anything...even
a seat in the Oval Office.
Full review to come, but for now: it was a good book, but not great. Certain elements rang false (also side note: did the SATs go back to being out of 1600? because my scores were out of 2400 and it kept confusing me when characters talked about their scores being out of 1600) and I don't think I'll ever reread it, but it was a solid story. The friendship piece was AMAZING. There were way to many PoV shifts for me.
