The neglected ones, the unlucky ones, the ones who want more than they've been give. The ones who have to crawl and scrape and fight their way up from the very bottom, who have to game a system designed for them to lose.

the greatest compliment i can give is when i finish a ya-novel and think, dang i wish this had been around when i was a kid. charming & clever & powerful!

Ann Liang has this way of writing that is simple but strong in just the right places. Like, tell me why I was tearing up when Alice and Henry were literally just talking. In the beginning, I couldn't help but compare this to Ann Liang's 2024 academic-rivals-to-lovers, I Hope This Doesn't Find You. I don't know when I stopped, but by the end of the book, I was feeling so much for and with Alice that I surprised myself. Definitely worth a read.
