<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When ex-power couple Angeline, a social influencer, and Leo, an injured athlete, face off for student council president, Angeline's sister, school newspaper editor Cat, and an underground newspaper editor also compete.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Two exes. One election. <i>All</i> the drama. <p/>For fans of Becky Albertalli and Morgan Matson comes a funny, heartfelt novel about feuding exes running for class president and the scandal that makes the previously boring school election the newest trending hashtag.</b> <p/>At Acedia High, student council has always been a joke. Nobody pays attention. Nobody cares. <p/> But that changes when someone plasters the halls with Photoshopped images of three "perfect tens"--composites of scantily clad girls made from real photos of female students at the school. Quickly dubbed the "Frankengirls," the scandal rocks the student body. And the two presidential candidates, budding influencer Angeline Quinn and charming jock Leo Torres, jump on the opportunity to propose their solutions and secure votes. Fresh from a messy public breakup, Angeline and Leo fight to win, and their battle both mesmerizes and divides the school. <p/> The election fills the pages of The Red and Blue, the school newspaper run by Angeline's sister, Cat. The Quinn sisters share a room and a grade but little else, and unlike her more sensationalist sister, Cat prides herself on reporting the facts. So when a rival newspaper pops up--written by an anonymous source and the epitome of "fake news"--Cat's journalistic buttons are pushed. Rumors fly, secrets are leaked, and the previously mundane student election becomes anything but boring.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Alternating chapters between Angeline and Cat, this fun and provocative novel sees the sisters growing in their relationship while dealing with thorny issues of accountability, truth, enacting change, and the systemic sexism prevalent in their school...Entertaining, thought-provoking, and heartwarming.--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/>"A timely and smart novel that examines the pernicious effects of fake news and what it means to be a feminist, and even better, a sister.
