Parker Ryland is an outspoken, flashy, bisexual, high school senior with a mission - to get the heck out of small-town Tennessee. When the dreaded guidance counselor tells him his application is missing panache? A plan emerges ...
Enter the Miss Spirit pageant and spruce up his application. Super easy right? It was until all the sabotage!
With drama that rivals the oft quoted Miss Congeniality, Parker has to survive the beauty pageant, his feelings for his escort, the oh-so-dreamy Dean, and high school in general, with alacrity and effulgence.
There is dancing, talents, formal wear, and the very real chance of serious bodily harm. What's not to love?
Matthew Hubbard has an incredibly fun writing style that made this read feel so quick, I hardly even noticed when the book was almost over.
Also, I am so sad that Parker and Deans favorite band, Social Vampire Slayer, isn't a real band that I can blast in to my ears right now.
