This book is a rewrite of David Levithan's novel Wide awake, published in 2006 by Alfred A. Knopf. The context of the original has shifted in this version to include real events, but the political speeches have remained almost entirely the same.
Abstract:
"A gay Jewish man has just been elected president of the United States--or so it seems, until the governor of Kansas decides that some election results in his state are invalid and awards crucial votes to the other candidate, his fellow party member. Things quickly go very wrong--and hundreds of thousands of people flock to Kansas to protest for what they believe is right and just. Among them are Jimmy and Duncan, teens who are not only fighting for the future of their country but for the future of their relationship, too"--Provided by publisher.
