About the book
Beauty queen and secret nerd Teagan has her eye on the much-needed prize: the $25,000 scholarship awarded to the winner of the Miss Cosmic Teen USA pageant. Fanfiction author Kaylee is using the time away from home to use they/them pronouns for the first time and (hopefully) kiss a girl. When Teagan and Kay bump into one another the first night, sparks fly. But when their shared enemy shows up, it seems all their secrets will follow them home. The risks are great…but could the reward of embracing their true selves be worth it?
