Beschreibung

After getting rejected by every single Ivy League she applied to and falling short of all her Asian immigrant parents’ expectations, seventeen-year-old Jenna Chen makes a wish to become her smarter, infinitely more successful Harvard-bound cousin, Jessica Chen—only for her wish to come true. Literally.

Now trapped inside Jessica’s body, with access to Jessica’s most private journals and secrets, Jenna soon discovers that being the top student at the elite, highly competitive Havenwood Private Academy isn’t quite what she imagined. Worse, as everyone—including her own parents—start having trouble remembering who Jenna Chen is, or if she ever even existed, Jenna must decide if playing the role of the perfect daughter and student is worth losing her true self forever.

Highschool drama, friendship and a touch of romance 💘

The cover is simple yet beautiful. Normally, I’m not a fan of book covers featuring people, but in this case, it’s a wonderful exception.🤍 About the Story: (little spoiler ahead)📖 Jenna does everything she can to be just as good as her cousin Jessica. But no matter how hard she tries, it’s never enough—she always ends up being second choice. On the evening before the big family dinner, she receives a rejection letter from her dream university. Heartbroken, she wishes more than anything to be like her perfect cousin. The next morning, she wakes up and—bam!—through some miracle, she is suddenly living Jessica’s life. At first, she enjoys the praise and admiration that Jessica seems to receive effortlessly. But soon, she realizes that this seemingly perfect life is far from easy. More and more people start forgetting that Jenna ever existed—even her best friend and secret crush. In desperation, she fights to reclaim her own identity. Message of the Story!💌 This book delivers an important lesson: No matter how much you try to imitate someone else, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. It’s crucial to follow your own path instead of being blinded by the supposed perfection of others. While another person’s life may seem easier or more beautiful on the surface, appearances can be deceiving. I especially loved the perfect blend of high school drama, friendship, and a touch of romance. Additionally, the story encourages readers to appreciate their own lives and not constantly compare themselves to others.

4.5

Dieses Buch hat etwas in mir berührt, das ich lange vergessen hatte: den Wunsch, einfach ich zu sein – ohne Erwartungen, ohne Etiketten, ohne Schuldgefühle. Ann Liang erzählt nicht nur eine Geschichte. Sie spricht eine Wahrheit aus, die viele von uns kennen, aber selten laut sagen: Wie es sich anfühlt, wenn man sich selbst nicht erkennt im Spiegel der anderen. Es ist ein stilles, starkes Buch. Einfühlsam, aber ehrlich. Und vielleicht genau das, was du gerade brauchst.
