This complex verse novel tells the story of Nic Chen, a wealthy but emotionally bankrupt high school student who is trying to survive her senior year by writing college admissions essays for her classmates' Ivy League applications. In working to revamp their perceptions of her as the girl who cheated on her boyfriend, she begins to realize how thoroughly alone and abandoned she feels--perhaps even by herself.
