For fans of Casey McQuiston, Rachel Hawkins, and Rachel Dugan comes a story about bad allyship gone good. A Clueless and Emma for the modern age, this is a breezy but incisive tale of growing up, getting wise, and realizing every story needs a hero—sometimes it's just not you. When her best friend Hannah comes out the day before junior year, Daisy is all set to let her ally flag fly. Before you can spell LGBTQIA, she’s leading the charge to end their school’s antiquated ban on same-sex dates at dances—starting with homecoming. And if people assume Daisy herself is gay?
