About this listen
Uly would rather watch old Westerns with his new girlfriend, Sallie, than get involved in his school’s politics - why focus on the “bad” and “ugly” when his days with Sallie are so good?
His older sister, Regina, feels differently. She is fed up with the way White school-body presidential candidate Leona Walls talks about Black students. Regina decides to run against Leona...and convinces Ulyto be her campaign manager.
Sallie has no interest in managing her sister’s campaign, but how could she say no? After their parents’ death, Leona is practically her only family. Even after Leona is accused of running a racist campaign that targets the school’s students of color - including Sallie’s boyfriend, Uly - Sallie wants to give her sister the benefit of the doubt. But how long can she ignore the ugly truth behind Leona’s actions?
Together and apart, Uly and Sallie must navigate sibling loyalty and romantic love as the campaign spirals toward a devastating conclusion.
CW: Acts of racism and bigotry, racist language, and gun violence are portrayed in this novel.
