What happens when you are an ultra-high achiever and you do something that you are sure will ruin your entire life? What happens when you can't reach the perfection that you have been pushed to be? Well, that is what this book is about, as seen from the view point of high school junior, Viviana Rabinovich-Lowe. First we find out about the panic attacks that stem from some pictures she had sent to an boyfriend were leaked around school. We find out that her dad has not been so perfect and honest with her and her family. Vivi has to learn to trust herself and the people around her.
This book was hard for me to believe, but then again, I was never the ultra-high, looking to go to Stanford, type in high school. I did have a friend that went to Yale, but she never really seemed to have to push herself and strive for perfection the way that Vivi did. I, also, never had the family life that Vivi had to deal with, but in talking with some of my friends, it seems like it could very possibly happen.
Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for giving me the digital ARC of this book, in order to give an honest opinion.
