Description
Iโm your protagonistโReshma Kapoorโand if you have the free time to read this book, then youโre probably nothing like me.Reshma is a college counselorโs dream. Sheโs the top-ranked senior at her ultra-competitive Silicon Valley high school, with a spotless academic record and a long roster of extracurriculars. But there are plenty of perfect students in the country, and if Reshma wants to get into Stanford, and into med school after that, she needs the hook to beat them all.
What's a habitual over-achiever to do? Land herself a literary agent, of course. Which is exactly what Reshma does after agent Linda Montrose spots an article she wrote for Huffington Post. Linda wants to represent Reshma, and, with her new agent's help scoring a book deal, Reshma knows sheโll finally have the key to Stanford.
But sheโs convinced no one would want to read a novel about a study machine like her. To make herself a more relatable protagonist, she must start doing all the regular American girl stuff she normally ignores. For starters, she has to make a friend, then get a boyfriend. And she's already planned the perfect ending: after struggling for three hundred pages with her own perfectionism, Reshma will learn that meaningful relationships can be more important than successโa character arc librarians and critics alike will enjoy.
Of course, even with a mastermind like Reshma in charge, things canโt always go as planned. And when the valedictorian spot begins to slip from her grasp, sheโll have to decide just how far sheโll go for that satisfying ending. (Note: Itโs pretty far.) ISBN:9781484723876
