Description
From master storyteller and Printz Awardโwinning author An Na comes a thoughtful novel about American beauty standards through the eyes of a Korean-American teenager who must decide how far sheโs willing to go to be seen as beautiful.
On the last day of her junior year, Joyce Park finally musters up the courage to ask her crush to sign her yearbook, but he canโt remember her name. Joyce questions whether sheโll ever be pretty or special enough to stand out, especially when her older sister, Helen, outshines her in every way. When Joyceโs plastic-surgery-crazed aunt wins the lottery and decides to help everyone in the family improve their looks, Joyce is offered the chance to have eyelid surgery to give her monolids a fold. Joyce is certain that this surgery could change her life, then sheโll look more like the typical white American beautyโthe kind of girl her crush dates. But Joyce hates pain. Any pain. And while her best friend canโt believe she would give up the opportunity to change her looks, Joyceโs sister canโt believe she would even consider the surgery. Is fitting in worth going under the knife for?
