Not in Jackson Heights, where she isnt considered Latinx enough and is seen as too PC for her own good. Certainly not at her Manhattan prep school, where her predominantly white classmates pride themselves on being woke. She only has to survive her senior year before she can escape to the prestigious Whyder College, if she can get in. Maybe there, Ale will finally find a place to call her own.The only problem with laying low- a microaggression thrusts Ale into the spotlight and into the middle of a discussion she didnt ask for.

In the process, she might discover what it truly means to carve out a space for yourself to belong.Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim is an incisive, laugh-out-loud, provocative read about feeling like a misfit caught between very different worlds, what it means to be belong, and what it takes to build a future for yourself.
