Something Like Possible
$12.99 USD
paperback
In this compelling YA contemporary novel, a bisexual teen's path to political staffer stardom is in jeopardy, until she convinces a new, unexpectedly cute candidate to accept her help.
On the worst day of her life, Madison is dumped by her girlfriend, fired as campaign manager for junior class president, AND she accidentally rear-ends the student government advisor—the one person whose good word might actually get her into to a prestigious summer youth politics camp.
But Madison is nothing if not a girl with a plan, and she isn’t going to let a little thing like heartbreak (or a slightly dented bumper) get in her way. Soon, she has a new candidate to back—although the two of them might be getting a little too close on the campaign trail. But when Madison and a group of queer classmates discover a pattern of harassment within the student government, Madison's forced to shift gears once again.
Miel Moreland was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With time spent in California and France, she has a Midwestern heart but wandering feet. When not making pop music references and celebrating fandom, she is likely to be found drinking hot chocolate and making spreadsheets. She currently resides in Boston.

"Full of heart and hope, Something Like Possible explores just how hard yet empowering it can be when the personal gets political and the political gets personal. The queer cast of lovable and passionate characters show what it means to have each other's backs—and hearts. I inhaled this book." —Emma Kress, author of Dangerous Play
