On My Wish List (73)

On My Wish List is a fun weekly event hosted by Workaday Reads and runs every Saturday. It's where we list all the books we desperately want but haven't actually bought yet. They can be old, new or forthcoming.

Title: The Implosion of Aggie Winchester Author: Lara Zielin Publication Date: August 4, 2011
Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Aggie Winchester couldn't care less about who's elected prom queen-even if it's her pregnant Goth-girl best friend, Sylvia Ness. Aggie's got bigger things to worry about, like whether or not her ex-boyfriend wants to get back together and whether her mom will survive cancer.

But like it or not, Aggie soon finds herself in the middle of an unfolding prom scandal, largely because her mom, who is the school's principal, is rumored to have burned prom ballots so Sylvia won't be elected queen. Aggie's own investigation makes her wonder if the election could be dirty on both sides.

I don't usually read this kind of book, where high school is the main focus. I don't care when characters are in high school, but I don't usually go out of my way for them. I completely forgot about this book until just now when I was cruising through my Goodreads to-read list. I like that this story has a focus on the mom being the principal and burning ballots, so I'm gonna have to go out of my way and get my hands on this one after all.
