Thank you to Fierce Reads and Netgalley for an arc of this book.

When Madison's girlfriend dumps her and fires her as campaign manager on the same day, she knows she needs a new plan--and a new candidate to back. Enter Victoria, who is the best candidate for the job of junior class president. But more than just class campaigns are on the line in this novel!


I loved this so much and absolutely devoured it. I stayed up way too late reading and didn't want to put it down. Madison is such an amazing, driven, talented, focused, and passionate person! I loved her so much as a main character and she was so easy to root for. Victoria is also amazing and their besties Amrita and Louis are so great!

I love the campaign storyline and the sexual assault parts had me bawling. This story is so important and handles sensitive topics delicately and with the care they deserve. Madison is so brave and I sincerely love her.

I love everything about this book and know it will be one that holds a special place in my heart for a long long time to come. "No broken hearts."

I really enjoyed reading this book, it had what I was looking for from this type of book. It was a strong romance and I was invested in their story. The characters also were strongly written and felt like real people. Miel Moreland has a great writing style that I was invested in. I can't wait to read more from Miel Moreland.

“Damn,” Eric says, but to his phone, not me. “She’s on ASB now, isn’t she? Her picture’s on that board. She’s the one to beat.”I can’t tell if we’re on the same page about wanting her to win or not. Before I can launch into our campaign spiel, Eric turns away, clearly done with me, and gets caught up talking about spring training with some guys across the aisle."

Thank you for arc I really appreciate it. This was very cute. I enjoy it but I feel like the book was kinda slow. But in the end it worth it to keep going.

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to read this eARC.

This was definitely a sweet and enjoyable read but I didn't particularly enjoy the writing and some of the storytelling, but I'm also not the target audience. I did love Madison and our other characters.

This was very different than what I expected after reading It Goes Like This. The writing style felt a lot more mainstream and less unique to the author, maybe due to the younger target audience. But regardless, the story was perfectly paced and executed and I had a lot of fun getting to know Madison and the rest of the cast. Miel Moreland proves she is still the master of YA sapphic fiction.

Freshly dumped by her girlfriend, fired from being said girlfriend’s campaign manager, and rear-ending the student government advisor, Madison is having a pretty rough day. Madison is determined to win a spot at a prestigious youth politics summer camp, she is all about managing campaigns, so when her girlfriend dumps her out of the blue and fires her from her campaign, Madison decides it’s time to find new candidates to help. Madison soon finds herself helping the charming and beautiful Victoria. Madison soon is spending more time with a group of queer classmates and then discovers a pattern of harassment within the student government... and Madison will have to face something she wasn’t expecting at all. From making new friends to running a campaign to finding new love and helping speak up against harassment and inappropriate behavior, this was a lovely story about one girl’s journey through some difficult times. This story deals with a lot of heavy stuff too so I would definitely recommend reading the trigger warnings before going into it but I think it tells a really important message and is done really well.

*Thanks Netgalley and Macmillan Children's Publishing Group, Feiwel & Friends for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

Actual rating 3.5 stars.

For a long time, I thought Something Like Possible would be a three-star read. Cute, very easy to read, but a bit too much high school drama for my taste, and somehow I didn’t care for Madison that much. I even got a bit restless and wanted the story to be finished (which means I started skim-reading at times), so I could pick up another book. And then the last quarter of the book began.

It felt like there were two stories in one. Those stories belonged together, don’t get me wrong, but the tone of the book shifted in the last part. Suddenly I was like, no, this can’t be true, and my chest tightened. A bit later goosebumps danced over my skin. Whereas the first three quarters were the easy-to-read high school drama, the last quarter was intense and far more emotional. As a sucker for darker stories with important topics, I loved the last quarter the most, and that’s why I rounded my 3.5-star rating up in the end. Be aware, though, that this part could be triggering.

I thought this was a sweet story of how important visibility is for younger people! I loved the way that the queer girls supported each other throughout the text and how supporting each other came before the competition. I wasn't expecting the heavy plot line at the end but I think it held an important message.

I really enjoyed this book! The romance part of the book was super cute and executed really well! I liked how the relationship conflicts were handled and that other central themes were explored more rather than prolonging miscommunications between the love interests. I was not expecting the last quarter of the book to be as heavy as it was (not bad heavy, just heavy). I loved the community aspect and resolution to that part of the book. If you identify as a nerd I think you'll identify with the main character so give this a try!
