It’s the last day of school at Cheshire Prep, Brooklyn’s elite academy–and Audre Mercy-Moore’s life is a mess. Her dad cancelled her annual summer visit to his Malibu beach house. Now? She’s stuck in a claustrophobic apartment with her mom, stepdad, and one-year-old sister (aka the Goblin Baby).
Under these conditions, she’ll never finish writing her self-help book–ie, the key to winning over Stanford’s admissions board.
