From Ampersand Prize-winning author Erin Gough comes this ferociously funny romp through an elite private school, and a brilliant feminist hoax that could change or ruin everything.

Harriet Price has the perfect life: she’s a prefect at Rosemead Grammar, she lives in a mansion, and her gorgeous girlfriend is a future prime minister. So when she decides to risk it all by helping bad-girl Will Everhart expose the school’s many ongoing issues, Harriet tells herself it’s because she too is seeking justice. And definitely not because she finds Will oddly fascinating.

Will Everhart can’t stand posh people like Harriet, but even she has to admit Harriet's ideas are good – and they’ll keep Will from being expelled. That’s why she teams up with Harriet to create Amelia Westlake, a fake student who can take the credit for a series of provocative pranks at their school.

But the further Will and Harriet’s hoax goes, the harder it is for the girls to remember they’re sworn enemies – and to keep Amelia Westlake’s true identity hidden. As tensions burn throughout the school, how far will they go to keep Amelia Westlake – and their feelings for each other – a secret?

Perfect for fans of David Levithan and Becky Albertalli, this triumphant queer YA rom-com explores politics, privilege and power, and has a gloriously uplifting teen romance at its heart.

I had been excited about this book since I heard about it in May of 2017, and it did not disappoint!

This book had me captivated from page one. I loved the Moxie vibe to it, and would highly recommend this book to anyone who also enjoyed Moxie by Jennifer Mattheau.

Amelia Westlake is the story of two very different high school girls determined to take on the outdated views of the elitist school they attend.
They both want the faculty to own up to its behaviour and be held accountable for the things they do. However, neither of them can put their name to it or there will be consequences. Enter, Amelia Westlake, the one whose name is on everyone's lips.
