Book Description from Back Cover
"This can't be happening."
Ellen Sung is taken unawares by Tomper Sandel,and when he kisses her, her whole world shifts. She doesn't have time for a boyfriend, especially one who's probably not going to college. She's completely absorbed in keeping her grades up to please her strict immigrant parents, who will freak out if she doesn't get into Harvard. Even an evening with her best friend, Jessie, feels like guilty time away from her studies. She can't tell her parents about Tomper, or about the racist slurs she receives in school. These days, Ellen's not sure whom to please. And what about what she wants: does that matter all?
Comments from Back Cover
"Allows readers first to flinch in recognition and then look into their own hearts. A gently self-possessed work."
