An honest, laugh-out-loud, feel-good novel inspired by the hit Broadway musical The Prom--a New York Times Critic's Pick!
All seventeen-year-old Emma Nolan wants before she graduates is to dance with her girlfriend at the senior prom. But when she gets up the courage to make her choice of prom date public, it stirs a community-wide uproar in her small Indiana town.
Alyssa Greene is her high school's "it" girl: popular, head of the student council, and daughter of the PTA president. She also has a secret. She's been dating Emma for the last year and a half.
When Barry Glickman and Dee Dee Allen, two washed-up Broadway stars, catch wind of Emma's story on social media, they see it as the perfect opportunity to restore their place in the limelight. But when they arrive in Indiana to fight on Emma's behalf, their good intentions go quickly south. Now it's up to Barry and Dee Dee to turn things around and maybe even spread a little tolerance along the way. After all--sometimes you gotta kick-ball-change the world.
