With her life crashes down around her, Ghanaian-American med student Angie Appiah, whoâs spent her life being the Perfect Immigrant Daughter, questions everythingâher career, her friendships and her taste in menâuntil she meets someone who changes everything. 100,000 first printing. - Baker & Taylor
"Ghanaian-American Angela Appiah has checked off all the boxes for the Perfect Immigrant Daughter: enroll in an elite medical school, snag a suitable lawyer/doctor/engineer boyfriend, surround self with a gaggle of successful and/or loyal friends. But then it all quickly falls apart: she bombs the most important exam of her medical career, her boyfriend dumps her, and her best friend pulls away. And her parents, whose approval seems to hinge on how closely she follows the path they chose for her, are a lot less proud of their daughter than they were when things were going according to plan ... Angie, who has always faced her problems by 'working twice as hard to get half as far,' is at a loss. Suddenly, she begins to question everything: her career choice, her friendships, why she's attracted to men who don't love her as much as she loves them. And just when things couldn't get more complicated, enter Ricky Gutiâerrrez--brilliant, thoughtful, sexy, and, most importantly, seems to see Angie for who she isinstead of what she can represent"--Dust jacket flap. - HARPERCOLL

Ghanaian-American Angela Appiah has checked off all the boxes for the âPerfect Immigrant Daughter.â
- Enroll in an elite medical school
- Snag a suitable lawyer/doctor/engineer boyfriend
- Surround self with a gaggle of successful and/or loyal friends
But then it quickly all falls apart: her boyfriend dumps her, she bombs the most important exam of her medical career, and her best friend pulls away. And her parents, whose approval seems to hinge on how closely she follows the path they chose, are a lot less proud of their daughter. Itâs a quarter life crisis of epic proportions.
Angie, who has always faced her problems by working âtwice as hard to get half as far,â is at a loss. Suddenly, she begins to question everything: her career choice, her friendships, even why she's attracted to men who don't love her as much as she loves them.
And just when things couldnât get more complicated, enter Ricky Gutierrezâbrilliant, thoughtful, sexy, and most importantly, seems to see Angie for who she is instead of what she can represent.
Unfortunately, heâs also got âwastemanâ practically tattooed across his forehead, and Angieâs done chasing mirages of men. Or so she thinks. For someone whoâs always been in control, Angie realizes that thereâs one thing she canât plan on: matters of her heart.
