Description This witty, warm-hearted retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac is a love letter to female friendship. a smart and honest look at female beauty, with plenty of panache to boot." --Kirkus, starred review About the Author ARIEL Kaplan began life as an imPerfect baby, matured into an imPerfect child, and remains an imPerfect adult, though she does occasionally make a Perfect chocolate cupcake (the trick, you see, is to leave out the eggs, which interfere with the choco. . .
But, perhaps best of all, it offers teens, especially those struggling to accept and love themselves, a picture of a Girl who makes mistakes and fights to begin again." --Booklist, starred review "At once painful and heartfelt . "There is much to appreciate about this book: its cleverness, its humor, that it embraces and normalizes therapy, that it places familial love and friendship on a level with romantic love.
The question is: What will happen when Greg finds out? And can Aphra and Bethany\'s friendship survive the fallout? From the author of We Regret to Inform You comes a witty, warm-hearted exploration of love in all its forms, and a cris-de-coeur for self-acceptance when the pressure to be Perfect is overwhelming.
It\'s only a matter of time before things come crashing down.
What begins as an honest mistake turns into an elaborate deception, wherein Bethany goes on dates with Greg while Aphra coaches her on what to say, and texts him in the guise of Bethany, trying and failing, all the while, to tamp down her own hopeless crush. . .
Individually, they could both do a little better in the self-esteem department, but together? Together, they have what it takes to win over Greg D\'Agostino, a proverbial "ten," who happens to be fluent in six languages--seven if you count the language of smoldering gazes .
Her best friend, Bethany, is achingly beautiful.
Aphra Brown is bold and outgoing.
Perfect for Stephanie Perkins fans, and anyone who\'s ever thought of trying on a new identity to impress a guy.
