Overall, I really enjoyed this read, but it wasn't my favorite book from this publisher nor was it in my tops for political themed books as I read four centered around various types of elections. It was however, a quick and easy title. 

I read a lot of Wednesday books, so going into this, I had a bit higher expectations going into it. I don't want to say it was bad, because it wasn't, and it also had some very interesting representations in minority communities, this one dealing with Jasmine's Iranian background and an international incident in Iran that unfortunately causes problems for their high school presidential campaign. 

I feel like had I not just read (un)popular Vote I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
