But things get worse when a Chinese fortuneteller channels Patty’s future via her bellybutton and divines a white guy on her horizon. Her mom then freaks out and ships her off to math camp at Stanford. Just as Patty writes off her summer of woe, life starts glimmering with all kinds of probabilities…

★ “Headley makes an impressive debut with this witty, intimate novel.” – Publishers Weekly, starred review
