- Synopsis
- A multicultural teen struggles to fit into her elite prep school, her diverse Queens neighborhood, and even her own home. A hilarious, poignant, and powerful YA novel from the award-winning author of Re Jane.&“Simply brilliant!&” —David Yoon, New York Times best-selling author of FRANKLY IN LOVE &“Scathingly funny.&” —Gayle Forman, New York Times best-selling author of IF I STAYAlejandra 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 Manhattan prep school, where her predominantly white classmates pride themselves on being &“woke&”. She only has to survive 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 with laying low— a microaggression thrusts Ale into the spotlight and into the middle of 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.
