Kate Quinn has felt nearly lifeless since her mother died.
Just as she finishes up her junior year of high school,
preparing to face more time of grief, her father shows up.
With no idea who he was previously, she is shocked to
discover that the man who helped cause her birth is the
same
man running for president. As she adjusts to living with a
family she doesn't know, she is faced with both political
and emotional challenges that she never expected.
Taking off with a supremely well done introduction, THE
WRONG SIDE OF RIGHT tells a story of surprise families,
heartbreak, and dashes of adventure. Jenn Marie Thorne
paints a thorough picture of contemporary realism, full of
nuances that reflect the variety of brilliantly
nontraditional families and dialogue that stays grounded
even in the dramatic circumstances.
Kate herself forms an ideal balance of a grieving young
adult, a kindhearted person, and someone who has yet to
uncover her full voice. Her journey in learning how to say
what she thinks in a room full of politics and
manipulation
is beautiful, though occasionally the pace drags a tad in
places. Supplementing her heartwarming, naturally awkward,
and even tearful scenes with her new family, particularly
with her new stepmother, Meg, is the perfect amount of
romance with a charming and off limits young man.
Carefully
never overpowering the heart of the story, Andy and Kate
are
the ideal book couple: sweet, cheeky, and youthful.
Fans of Meg Cabot's All American Girl will welcome this
political and complex novel Jenn Marie Thorne crafts. THE
WRONG SIDE OF RIGHT brings laughter, tears of anger at
injustice, soft smiles, and important discussions of
growing
families trying to make room for everyone and everything.
Fans of Sarah Dessen and Huntley Fitzpatrick will enjoy
this smart debut young adult novel, equal parts My Life
Next Door and The Princess Diaries—plus a dash of Aaron
Sorkin
Kate Quinn’s mom died last year, leaving Kate parentless
and reeling. So when the unexpected shows up in her living
room, Kate must confront another reality she never thought
possible—or thought of at all. Kate does have a father.
He’s a powerful politician. And he’s running for U.S.
President. Suddenly, Kate’s moving in with a family she
never knew she had, joining a campaign in support of a man
she hardly knows, and falling for a rebellious boy who may
not have the purest motives. This is Kate’s new life. But
who is Kate? When what she truly believes flies in the
face of the campaign’s talking points, she must decide.
Does she turn to the family she barely knows, the boy she
knows but doesn’t necessarily trust, or face a third, even
scarier option?
Set against a backdrop of politics, family, and first
love, this is a story of personal responsibility,
complicated romance, and trying to discover who you are
even as everyone tells you who you should be.
