Summary:

Crohn’s disease, the paparazzi, and heartbreak can’t derail Emmy Crawford, the type-A daughter of a senator, from relentlessly pursuing her dreams in this coming-of-age novel perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Rachel Lynn Solomon.

There are three things high school senior Emmy Crawford will accomplish, no matter what:

Taking nationals in debate this season.
Shielding her sister Issy from anything that could hurt her, especially her anxiety.
Representing her family well, since her mom may be the next president.

And nothing can get in Emmy’s way. Not Crohn’s disease, even if her gut has been acting up. Not the paparazzi, who snap any photos they can get of the daughters of a presidential candidate. And definitely not her feelings for Gabe Castillo, the only debater in DC who stands a chance at beating her—and who she used to be on secret kissing terms with, before he ghosted. When Gabe unexpectedly returns to the debate scene and Issy starts crushing on him, Emmy works harder than ever to keep her eyes on winning and off her aching heart and body, because the alternative means losing the three things that matter most.

This book only came out last month so I really don’t have a massive amount of information on it. I’ve done my best with what I had, and I’ll update this entry when and if more information becomes available.
