Thank you for your interest in our school, but we regret to inform you that... youre not special. Youre too average. Youre too boring. nWell, in that case, shell have to show them just how interesting she can be. n nElizabeth Zhang is well aware of her place in the world. Shes in the tenth percentile for likability, the seventieth percentile for attractiveness, and the ninety-ninth percentile for academics. While shes never been the most beautiful or the most liked, she knows she has the intelligence and ambition to achieve her greatest dream: Harvard Law School. But when Harvard rejects Elizabeth for not standing out enough--which she knows means shes just another boring Asian female--her carefully constructed life falls apart. What shocks her even more is that Laura Kim, a classmate at Columbia, got in. Elizabeth cant figure out how this could have happened. Why was Laura accepted? What makes her so interesting? n nAt first, she follows her because shes just curious. What Laura orders for lunch. Where Laura shops. What Lauras hobbies are. All of these things must contribute to her overall package, what makes her an acceptable person to Harvard. But still, Elizabeth just cant see it. The only thing she sees is that Laura has taken her spot. n nA spot that she knows she deserves after working so hard. A spot that shell simply have to take back. n nLayered and subversive, this novel brings to light how, in the face of societal expectations and self-inflicted pressures, a person can unlock the darkest parts of themselves and show how far theyre willing to go to achieve their vision of success.n
