    Résumé:

    For fans of Never Have I Ever and To All the Boys I've Loved Before. A hilarious and heartfelt novel about a young Haitian girl navigating high school, friendship, and crushes. Fifteen-year-old Fancy Augustine is a Haitian American girl with three simple desires. She'd like to trade in her floppy, oversize boobs for cute, perky ones. She'd love a boyfriend. And she is desperate for an invite to the biggest event of the school year: Imani Park's birthday party. When Fancy learns her BFF, Tilly, has received a coveted invite and has a secret boyfriend, she is (understandably) devastated and wholeheartedly determined to do whatever it takes to get her own happily ever after. So what if she makes a deal with the devil (Imani) that guarantees her an invite—but only if she can bring a boyfriend? And what's so bad about letting her crush, Rahim, believe that she can create a voodoo potion for him in exchange for him posing as her boyfriend? And, yeah, maybe she's destroying her friendship with Tilly and falling hopelessly behind in her schoolwork, but Fancy knows it'll all be worth it in the end. Plus, it's not like Fancy's parents would really make good on their threats of sending her back to Haiti...right?

Abstract

For fans of Never Have I Ever and To All the Boys I've Loved Before. A hilarious and heartfelt novel about a young Haitian girl navigating high school, friendship, and crushes. Fifteen-year-old Fancy Augustine is a Haitian American girl with three simple desires. She'd like to trade in her floppy, oversize boobs for cute, perky ones. She'd love a boyfriend. And she is desperate for an invite to the biggest event of the school year: Imani Park's birthday party. When Fancy learns her BFF, Tilly, has received a coveted invite and has a secret boyfriend, she is (understandably) devastated and wholeheartedly determined to do whatever it takes to get her own happily ever after. So what if she makes a deal with the devil (Imani) that guarantees her an invite—but only if she can bring a boyfriend? And what's so bad about letting her crush, Rahim, believe that she can create a voodoo potion for him in exchange for him posing as her boyfriend? And, yeah, maybe she's destroying her friendship with Tilly and falling hopelessly behind in her schoolwork, but Fancy knows it'll all be worth it in the end. Plus, it's not like Fancy's parents would really make good on their threats of sending her back to Haiti...right?
