Viveca is ready! This is her year for it all to be done and great! She is a senior and on track to be the valedictorian of her class. She has a good friend, Wren, who helps Viveca through her anxiety and helps get her out of her comfort zone, but in a good way. So, all is on track to go to the college of her dreams - the one that her mom went to for one year until she had to come back home and take care of her dad. Viveca just needs to get into the college and everything will be as she has always dreamed it would be.
Enter Jamison Sharpe, a transfer student into their prep high school and he is good lucking, popular right from the get go, and seems like he can do no wrong. AND he is gunning for Viveca's spot for valedictorian. Viveca is incensed! How can he come in and just take her spot with his perfect everything???? It isn't fair!
Recommended for grades 7 and up.
