Dropout

Wilhelmina Key has lived her entire life in the shadow of her (sweet teacher by day, abusive and bipolar by night) mother. It's no wonder she shoots so low in life - filing for emancipation, then dropping out to pursue music. After being rejected by five bands, Will is loving the life she's living - the one where people think she can't do anything right, and fails at everything. Oh, yeah, she's living the Dropout Dream - no compliments, no praise, and no good grades. Everything is perfect - until she's accepted into a band of Dropouts just like her (with some minor differences of course) called Out Of Ink. Now she's being accepted by everything - winning contests, awards, going on prestigious talk shows. The people love her - and Will can't stand it.

This humorous novel of a girl who loves failure and hates acceptance will touch your heart and make you laugh out loud (that is, if you can follow Will's speeding pace).
