About this item

In this heartfelt and hilarious debut from Ambika Vohra - that's Netflix's Never Have I Ever meets Jenny Han - one girl tackles a question that changes the trajectory of her senior year: "How have you gotten out of your comfort zone?" That's the Stanford admissions prompt that valedictorian shoo-in Aisha Agarwal can't answer. Comfort zone? Her life's been homework and junk food for as long as she can remember. Not exactly the thing college essays are written about. So, when her crush, Brian, asks her to winter formal, Aisha thinks her fate is changing . . . . . . until Brian stands her up.As if on cue, a banged-up Volkswagen arrives outside the dance; the driver - a guy her age - profusely apologizing for being late to pick her up. Does Aisha know him or what he's talking about? No.
