An intense and heartfelt romp. -- Kirkus Reviews Attentively examining themes of guilt and outside pressures with cultural nuance and plenty of good-humored scheming, Badua cultivates a high-stakes narrative of self-discovery and the dangers in pursuing perfection. -- Publishers Weekly Full of thoughtful exploration of the pressure of immigrant parents and elitism in college admissions. -- School Library Journal Not only is this book endlessly compelling, it is a master class in character. -- Buzzfeed Author InformationTracy Badua is a Filipino American author of books full of humor, magic, and young people with sunny hearts in a sometimes stormy world.
