Not at home, where Alefaces tense silence from Ma since Papi’s passing. Not in Jackson Heights, where she isn’t considered Latinx enough & is seen as too PC for her own good. Certainly not at her “woke”, predominantly white Manhattan school, where Ale’s súper Spanish name & súper Korean face is a Marvel comic Origin Story waiting to be explained. But Ale only has to get through her senior year before she can escape to the prestigious Whyder College, if she can get in. Maybe there Alewill finally find a place to call her own. 

The only problem–a micro aggression thrusts Aleinto the spotlight & into a discussion she didn’t ask for. But her usual keeping her head down tactic isn’t going to make this go away. With her signature wit & snark, Alefaces what she’s been hiding from. In the process, she might discover what it truly means to carve out a space for yourself to belong.

Imposter Syndrome & 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, & what it takes to build a future for yourself.
