THE STATE OF US
Chasing Liberty meets Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda in The State of Us, the story of Dean and Dre, the sixteen year old sons of the Republican and Democratic candidates for President of the United States, who fall in love on the sidelines of their parents' presidential campaigns.
When Dean Arnault's mother decided to run for President, it was not a surprise to anyone, least of all her son. But that does not mean Dean was ready for the public scrutiny or the 24 hour news cycle that comes along with it. As far as everyone knows, Dean is button down shirt wearing, church going, straight A high school student. Yet, no one knows who Dean really is, not even himself - at least not until Dean meets Dre Rosario. Finally, there is someone in Dean's life who actually understands him. The only problem: Dre's the son of the Democratic opposition.
But when Dean and Dre find themselves locked together in the green room before the start of that first debate, they are surprised at their instant connection. And as chance meetings on the campaign trail become less left to chance, their friendship quickly becomes the deepest connection either of the boys have ever known. But if it was not hard enough being on opposite sides of the aisle, a shady third party candidate suddenly claims to have "pictures that will change everything" that could cause Dean and Dre's worlds to fall apart.
It is a new modern day, star crossed romance about what it really means to love your country - and most importantly, yourself - from acclaimed author Shaun David Hutchinson.
Shaun David Hutchinson is the author of numerous books for young adults, including The Five Stages of Andrew Brawley , won the Florida Book Awards' Gold Medal in the Young Adult category and was named to the ALA's 2015 Rainbow Book List; the anthology Violent Ends, which received a starred review from VOYA ; and We Are the Ants , which received five starred reviews and was named a best book of January 2016 by Amazon.com, Kobo.com, Publishers Weekly, and iBooks . He lives in South Florida with his adorably chubby dog, and enjoys Doctor Who, comic books, and yelling at the TV.
