A star debater and popular student at the FATE academy, Henri "Halti" Haltiwanger has a burning ambition to attend Columbia University. His classmate and neighbor Corinne Troy blackmails him into helping her change her image at school, turning it into something more surprising than either of them ever bargained for. This is a sharply funny and insightful novel about the countless hustles we have to keep from doing the hardest thing: being ourselves.

From the acclaimed author of The Field Guide to the North American Teenager comes a witty and intricate romantic comedy that will captivate fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han. Meet Henri "Halti" Haltiwanger, a charismatic debater and beloved student at the esteemed FATE academy, the dutiful first-generation Haitian son, and the dependable dog walker for his affluent New York City neighbors. However, beneath his charming facade, there lies a burning desire to pursue his dream college, Columbia University.

One person who remains impervious to Henri's charms is his "intense" classmate and neighbor, Corinne Troy. When she discovers Henri's less-than-honest dog-walking scheme, she leverages her knowledge to blackmail him into helping her improve her reputation at school. Henri, seeing an opportunity for personal gain, agrees to assist her.

What begins as a simple mutual hustle quickly evolves into something more unexpected than either of them could have imagined. This novel is a poignant exploration of the countless hustles we engage in to avoid doing the most challenging thing: embracing our true selves. With its sharp humor and insightful commentary, it offers a relatable and entertaining journey that will leave readers both laughing and reflecting.
