"After an accident takes away her hope of winning a track scholarship, Agnes Chan enters an international stand-up comedy contest and finds herself up against her #1 archnemesis, Royce Taslim?â?but who will get the last laugh when romance makes the competition heat up? Simultaneous eBook." - Random House, Inc.
Acclaimed author of Last Tang Standing and Lucie Yi is Not a Romantic in her YA debut: a sharp yet sweet rivals-to-romance romp through Kuala Lumpurâperfect for fans of Emiko Jean, Abigail Hing Wen, and Kat Cho.
Agnes Chan never expected to be the punchline of her own life . . .
But how else do you explain getting accidentally run over and seeing a lifetime of careful preparation, endless training, and all your hopes of a track scholarship to college destroyed in a split second? Not to mention the only witness to your humiliation being your #1 archnemesis, Royce Taslim.
So, when Agnes finds a new answer to her scholarship predicament in the form of an international stand-up comedy contest for teens, the last person she expects to be up against is also the last person she wants to see: Royce. Because for years Royce has represented everything Agnes loathes: extreme privilege, popularity, and physical perfection (ok maybe she doesnât hate that part so much).
Behind the scenes, though, Royceâs flawless façade fades away, revealing someone Agnes never expectedâsomeone who shows her that perhaps the best parts of life are the ones you arenât prepared forâand as the competition heats up, so do things between these two rivals. But will the pressure to win be too much for them to handleâor will Agnes (and Royce) get the last laugh?
