Shirlene Obuobi makes you feel as if youre actually right there with the lovable Angie, and I personally couldnt get enough.

--Meg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author For fans of Greys Anatomy and Seven Days in June , this dazzling debut novel by Shirlene Obuobi explores that time in your life when you must decide what you want, how to get it, & who you are, all while navigating love, friendship, and the realization that the path youre traveling is going to be a bumpy ride.

Ghanaian-American Angela Appiah has checked off all the boxes for the Perfect Immigrant Daughter.

Enroll in an elite medical school Snag a suitable lawyer/doctor/engineer boyfriend Surround self with a gaggle of successful and/or loyal friends But then it quickly all falls apart: her boyfriend dumps her, she bombs the most important exam of her medical career, and her best friend pulls away.

And her parents, whose approval seems to hinge on how closely she follows the path they chose, are a lot less proud of their daughter.

Its a quarter life crisis of epic proportions.

Angie, who has always faced her problems by working twice as hard to get half as far, is at a loss.

Suddenly, she begins to question everything: her career choice, her friendships, even why shes attracted to men who dont love her as much as she loves them.

And just when things couldnt get more complicated, enter Ricky Gutierrez--brilliant, thoughtful, sexy, and most importantly, seems to see Angie for who she is instead of what she can represent.

Unfortunately, hes also got wasteman practically tattooed across his forehead, and Angies done chasing mirages of men.

Or so she thinks.

For someone whos always been in control, Angie realizes that theres one thing she cant plan on: matters of her heart.
