Remiya Siu is just trying to get through her senior year in one piece. Between writing articles for the school's newspaper, her part-time job at a local diner, and the piles of assignments she has to plow through for her AP classes, she barely has time to breathe. The pressure will be worth it, though. Because ultimately, it's going to help her get into Harvard--the college of her dreams. Except it doesn't. She's deferred, and she's crushed. By a stroke of pure luck, an opportunity arises when the annual Grand Achievement award is up for grabs for the first time ever, and she's one of two eligible students. This is what she needs to win so she can (finally) get off Harvard's waitlist once and for all. There's only one problem: competition comes in the form of Blaise Yang, her childhood nemesis, and he refuses to back down.
