CAN YOU BE too perfect?
ย
From the outside, Rachel looks like the perfect daughter in the perfect family. Sheโs a straight-A student, a gifted musician, and a good friend. But Rachel feels as if itโs all falling apart. Her brother, Charles, was just kicked out of boarding school and is now at home, wreaking havoc. Her sister, Jessica, has problems of her own, which Rachel thinks itโs her job to help solve. And Rachel herself is considering adding drama club, community service, and class president to her already crowded roster of activities. Rachelโs best friends, Stephanie and Alison, urge Rachel to lighten up and enjoy the end of seventh grade. Easy for them to say. Not so easy for Rachel. Not even when Jeremy Dragon, the coolest boy in ninth grade, notices her. Is it possible that perfection isnโt the key to an exciting life?
