Life is full of great expectations for Korean American Pippa Park. It seems like everyone, from her family to the other kids at school, has a plan for how her life should look. So when Pippa gets a mysterious basketball scholarship to Lakeview Private, she jumps at the chance to reinvent herself by following the "Rules of Cool." At Lakeview, Pippa juggles old and new friends, an unrequited crush, and the pressure to perform academically and athletically while keeping her past and her family's laundromat a secret from her elite new classmates. But when Pippa begins to receive a string of hateful, anonymous messages via social media, her carefully built persona is threatened. As things begin to spiral out of control, Pippa discovers the real reason she was admitted to Lakeview and wonders if she can keep her old and new lives separate, or if she should even try.-- Publisher's description.

Such a good book for Middle Schoolers! submitted by quynhssong on August 28, 2022, 2:21pm I'm going into 7th grade, and I have to say that this is an amazing book! This is a series, and the second book is coming out soon. The plot line is really interesting, and I can definitely connect to it. This book is about a Korean girl who gets a scholarship to a fancy private school (Lakeview), helps run the family laundromat, and deals with crushes, friends, basketball, and homework. Must read!
