Synopsis "Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra kim (in English)"
A multicultural teen struggles to fit in her wealthy prep school, her diverse Queens neighborhood, and at home. A hilarious, poignant, and powerful YA novel from the award-winning author of Re-Jane. "...A dazzling YA debut...that is deep, real and scathingly funny." --Gayle Forman, New York Times best-selling author of IF I STAY. "...brimming with insights while being un-put-downable and just plain fun. Simply brilliant!"-David Yoon, New York Times best-selling author of FRANKLY IN LOVE Alejandra Kim feels like she doesn't belong anywhere. Not at home, where Ale faces tense silence from Ma since Papi's passing. Not in Jackson Heights, where she isn't considered Latinx enough and is seen as too PC for her own good. Certainly not at her "woke", predominantly white Manhattan school, where Ale's súper Spanish name and súper Korean face is a Marvel comic Origin Story waiting to be explained. But Ale only has to get through her senior year before she can escape to the prestigious Whyder College, if she can get in. Maybe there Ale will finally find a place to call her own. The only problem--a microaggression thrusts Ale into the spotlight and into a discussion she didn't ask for. But her usual keeping her head down tactic isn't going to make this go away. With her signature wit and snark, Ale faces what she's been hiding from. In the process, she might discover what it truly means to carve out a space for yourself to belong. Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim is an incisive, laugh-out-loud, provocative read about feeling like a misfit caught between very different worlds, what it means to be belong, and what it takes to build a future for yourself.
