As tensions burn throughout the school, how far will they go to keep Amelia Westlake – and their feelings for each other – a secret? Perfect for fans of David Levithan and Becky Albertalli, this triumphant queer YA rom-com explores politics, privilege and power, and has a gloriously uplifting teen romance at its heart. But the further Will and Harriet’s hoax goes, the harder it is for the girls to remember they’re sworn enemies – and to keep Amelia Westlake’s true identity hidden. That’s why she teams up with Harriet to create Amelia Westlake, a fake student who can take the credit for a series of provocative pranks at their school. Will Everhart can’t stand posh people like Harriet, but even she has to admit Harriet's ideas are good – and they’ll keep Will from being expelled. A moral dilemma sees the two foes drawn together in a secret ploy to set the record straight on the school’s happenings. And definitely not because she finds Will oddly fascinating. Amelia Westlake tells the story of the coming together of two opposites: Harriet Price, a school prefect with a beautiful girlfriend, and Will Everheart, known for being the school’s bad girl. So when she decides to risk it all by helping bad-girl Will Everhart expose the school’s many ongoing issues, Harriet tells herself it’s because she too is seeking justice. Harriet Price has the perfect life: she’s a prefect at Rosemead Grammar, she lives in a mansion, and her gorgeous girlfriend is a future prime minister.
