Theres no such thing as a nice rich kid.
Told through the eyes of a Korean girl adopted into a wealthy white family, this darkly funny debut explores casual racism, privilege, and the vicious twists of friendship.
Derrymore Academy is home to teenagers who have their eyebrows shaped and their sweet sixteens tented. Their first kisses arrive around the same time as their boating licenses and they celebrate getting their braces off with Mediterranean vacations. It is here that Emery Hooper, fluent in private school and country club mores, thrives.
The one blight on Emerys otherwise perfect life? Lilah Chang. The Chinese-American student is the embarrassing epitome of every Asian stereotype Emery despises. Lilah is both astounded and hopelessly self-conscious around the generational wealth at Derrymore, where students treat laptops as disposable and weekend spending is limited only by imagination and audacity. Most fascinating to Lilah is Emery herself: an Asian girl who is somehow wholly comfortable in a white world.
When Emery realizes that her familys status and money cant completely shield her from being othered, Lilah and Emery develop a complicated friendship that tentatively unites them against the undercurrent of white privilege at Derrymore. As she speeds toward graduation and Ivy League applications, Emery circles around the truth that irrevocably separates her from Lilah:
