And Andre realizes that to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he’ll be living a life his ancestors would never have understood.

Isabelle Lee has a problem, and it's not just Ape Face, her sister, or group therapy for an eating disorder, or even that her father died and her mother is depressed and in denial. It's that Ashley, the most popular girl in school, is inviting Isabelle to join her at lunch and at sleepovers at her house, and this is presenting Isabelle with a dilemma. Pretty Ashley has moved Isabelle up the social ladder, but is it worth keeping the secret they share? Caught in the orbit of popularity and appearances, Isabelle must navigate a world with mixed messages, false hopes, and potentially harmful turns, while coping with her own flailing family and emotions. The author brings a depth of characterization, humor, and a real adolescent's voice to this multileveled story about the desire to be perfect in an imperfect world.

Meanwhile, Isabelle's sister, who used to be nine and charming, has ruined everything by ratting Isabelle out to their mom about her eating disorder. Isabelle can't bribe her to stay quiet and ends up in Eating Disorder and Body Image Therapy Group. Trapped in a room with no air circulation and orange carpet that smells like Cheez-Its, Isabelle is amazed when Ashley Barnum, the prettiest, most popular girl girl in school walks through the door. In a world where appearances are all that matter, coping takes some interesting and potentially harmful turns."
