From the award-winning author of The Field Guide to the
North American Teenager comes a whip-smart and layered romantic comedy. Perfect
for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han.
Henri Halti Haltiwanger can charm just about anyone.
He is a star debater and popular student at the prestigious FATE academy, the
dutiful first-generation Haitian son, and the trusted dog walker for his
wealthy New York City neighbors. But his easy smiles mask a burning ambition to
attend his dream college, Columbia University.
There is only one person who seems immune to Henri's charms: his intense
classmate and neighbor Corinne Troy. When she uncovers Henri's less-than-honest
dog-walking scheme, she blackmails him into helping her change her image at
school. Henri agrees, seeing a potential upside for himself.
Soon what started as a mutual hustle turns into something more
surprising than either of them ever bargained for. . . .
This is a sharply funny and insightful novel about the countless
hustles we have to keep from doing the hardest thing: being ourselves.
