A student body presidential election becomes the center of heated debate in Ivery’s new YA novel featuring interracial couple Uly and Sallie. Neither teen is particularly interested in politics, but when Sallie’s sister Leona runs a racist campaign for school president, Uly’s sister Regina announces a rival campaign and both are forced to take sides. Together and apart, Uly and Sallie must navigate sibling loyalty and romantic love as the campaign spirals toward a devastating conclusion. (Soho Press)
