"Dre and Dean have got my vote!"-Adib Khorram, award-winning author of Darius the Great Is Not OkayWhen Dean Arnault' s mother decided to run for president, it wasn' t a surprise to anyone, least of all her son. But still that doesn' t mean Dean wants to be part of the public spectacle that is the race for the White House-at least not until he meets Dre. The only problem is that Dre Rosario' s on the opposition; he' s the son of the Democratic nominee. But as Dean and Dre' s meet-ups on the campaign trail become less left to chance, their friendship quickly becomes a romantic connection unlike any either of the boys have ever known. If it wasn' t hard enough falling in love across the aisle, the political scheming of a shady third-party candidate could cause Dean and Dre' s world to explode around them. It' s a new modern-day, star-crossed romance about what it really means to love your country-and yourself-from the acclaimed author of We Are the Ants and Brave Face, Shaun David Hutchinson.
"Dre and Dean have got my vote!" -- Adib Khorram, award-winning author of Darius the Great Is Not Okay A supremely charming YA romance set against the 2020 Presidential election! -- Cathy Berner, Blue Willow Bookshop "While the joyful love story is front and center, Hutchinson' s deft handling of his characters provides a perfect-and surprisingly subtle-vehicle for relating the inner journeys of queer and questioning teens, most notably Dean' s exploration of his place on the asexual spectrum. Charming, humorous, nicely paced, and never dull, this timely romance will appeal beyond its genre-a must for all collections. " -- Booklist (starred review) "Two likable characters in a love-against-the-odds story that effectively takes up the well-timed issue of how to love people whose beliefs one doesn' t share. " -- Publishers Weekly
