This witty romantic comedy follows two opposites: Harriet, a high-achieving perfectionist, and Will, a rebellious artist: who team up to create a fictional student named Amelia Westlake. Through a series of clever pranks and public stunts, they expose their elite school's systemic failures, specifically regarding sexual harassment and privilege. It is an empowering choice for 14-to-18-year-olds that balances serious themes of social justice and LGBTQ+ identity with a lighthearted, fast-paced narrative.
