<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In her last few weeks at Northern Virginia's elite Chawton School, eighteen-year-old Jemima Kincaid works to up-end its patriarchal traditions and, in the process, finds the freedom she has always sought.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A novel about friendship, feminism, and the knotty complications of tradition and privilege, perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Stephanie Perkins.</b> <p/>Jemima Kincaid is a feminist, and she thinks <i>you</i> should be one, too. Her private school is laden with problematic traditions, but the worst of all is prom. The guys have all the agency; the girls have to wait around for promposals (she's speaking heteronormatively because only the hetero kids even <i>go</i>). In Jemima's (very opinionated) opinion, it's positively medieval. <p/>Then Jemima is named to Senior Triumvirate, alongside superstar athlete Andy and popular, manicured Gennifer, and the three must organize prom. Inspired by her feminist ideals and her desire to make a mark on the school, Jemima proposes a new structure. They'll do a Last Chance Dance: every student privately submits a list of crushes to a website that pairs them with any mutual matches. <p/>Meanwhile, Jemima finds herself embroiled in a secret romance that she craves and hates all at once. Her best friend, Jiyoon, has found romance of her own, but Jemima starts to suspect something else has caused the sudden rift between them. And is the new prom system really enough to extinguish the school's raging dumpster fire of toxic masculinity? <p/>Filled with Kate Hattemer's signature banter, this is a fast-paced and thoughtful tale about the nostalgia of senior year, the muddle of modern relationships, and how to fight the patriarchy when you just might be part of the patriarchy yourself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A clever, insightful, and sharply funny story. <i>--Booklist, </i>starred review <p/>Kate Hattemer is one of the most underrated YA contemporary authors, and you should be reading her novels.
