Back Cover Blurb

Sixteen-year-old adoptee Cynthia Wright is used to being the sidekick among her extroverted friends. But when they ditch her for boys, she goes from sidekick to odd-man-out. With her former friends seeming to ghost her, no luck with her charming-but-moody crush, and her older sister away at college, her junior year is shaping up to be one lonely mess. Giving in to her loneliness, Cynthia writes to the Vietnamese orphanage she was adopted from. She desperately wants to know about her birth parents. But while she waits for a letter from halfway around the world, she has other questions: Is there something wrong with her? Is she destined to remain a side character? By powering through a handful of lonely Friday nights, Cynthia comes to realize that being the sidekick is easy. Figuring out how to be the hero of her own story is a lot harder.
