Brade Bradshaw

Donya, an ambitious Iranian-American high schooler who launches an outrageous campaign to become Prom Person, the gender-neutral replacement for Prom King and Queen at Sovereignty High. Determined to prove a girl like her can be the center of the story, Donya dives into fake promposals, strategic PDAs, and increasingly unhinged schemes. Obsessed with losing her virginity as the key to popularity and belonging, she believes her ethnicity is also a barrier to success. Torn between Skaz, the school’s golden boy, and Cullen, an emo new kid she suspects is a vampire, Donya’s schemes spiral into public scandals and a ban from prom, forcing her to confront what she truly wants.
