Sadie Wen is a high school student who maintains a flawless academic record and a polite, accommodating exterior. She handles her frustration by writing scathing, honest emails to everyone who annoys her, storing them in her drafts folder. When these private rants are accidentally sent to the entire school, her reputation collapses. She is forced to navigate the fallout with her long-time academic rival, Julius Gong, whose secret vulnerabilities are revealed alongside her own anger. The two must work together to manage the social chaos and their shifting personal dynamic.
This book is for readers who enjoy stories about academic rivalry and the pressure to perform perfectly in social environments.
