An extraordinary debut about second-generation Asian-American women trying to live up to society's high standards, as well as their own.

Even though it's been ten years since their Houston high school days, co-valedictorians and best friends Whitney Lee, Hercules Huang, and Audrey Henley still delight in their once-a-month get-togethers where they talk, laugh, and confide in each otheralthough not about everything. Because each young woman has a deep, dark secret they think they could never share. Not even with their best friends. Then, during a girls' weekend getaway, these three friends wind up revealing their most intimate truthsand realize that to get straight As in the real world, all you have to do is let go of the need to be perfect
