Miel Moreland, author of Something Like Possible, in conversation with Marisa Kanter
By Porter Square Books
Porter Square Books is delighted to present a virtual event with Miel Moreland, author of Something Like Possible! Marisa Kanter will join her in conversation. This event takes place virtually via Crowdcast on Tuesday, May 23 at 7pm.
In this compelling YA contemporary from author Miel Moreland, a bisexual teen's path to political staffer stardom is in jeopardy, until she convinces a cute new candidate to team up with her on the campaign trail.
On the worst day of her life, Madison is dumped by her girlfriend, then fired as said (ex)girlfriend’s campaign manager... plus she accidentally rear-ends the student government advisor—the one person whose good word might help her win a spot at a prestigious youth politics summer camp.
But Madison is nothing if not a girl with a plan, and she isn’t going to let a little thing like heartbreak (or a slightly dented bumper) get in her way. Soon, she has a new junior class president candidate to back—although the two of them might be getting a little too close on the campaign trail. Between navigating her growing crush and corralling a less than enthusiastic election team, Madison has had it with unexpected changes to her carefully laid plans. But when she and a group of queer classmates discover a pattern of harassment within the student government, Madison's forced to shift gears once again.
Something Like Possible is a love letter to ambitious girls, queer solidarity, and how to keep moving forward when the world seems set on pushing you back.
Miel Moreland is the author of It Goes Like This and Something Like Possible. When not writing—and sometimes while writing—she is likely to be found drinking hot chocolate and making spreadsheets. Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she has a Midwestern heart but wandering feet, and currently resides in Boston.
Marisa Kanter is a young adult author, amateur baker, and reality television enthusiast. She is the author of What I Like About You and As If On Cue. Born and raised in the suburbs of Boston, her obsession with books led her to New York City, where she worked in the publishing industry to help books find their perfect readers. She currently lives in Los Angeles, writing love stories by day and searching for the perfect slice of pizza by night.
