Beschreibung
All Anna Xu wants to do as she starts freshman year at the local prestigious Brookings University is keep up her stellar academic performance, break out of her shell, be more social ... and investigate the unsolved on-campus murder of her former babysitter six years ago.

And if that wasn't difficult enough, it seems that Chris Lu, whose family are the Xu's business rivals, is attending Brookings too. There's no way they can be friends. Until a vandal attacks the Lu's bakery and Anna puts the perpetrator's call sign together with a clue from her investigation into the cold-case murder.

When a very specific threat is made to Anna, she is forced to team up with Chris to undertake a dangerous search into the hate crimes happening around campus. Can they root out the current threat or will the town's ugly history take them down?

In her spare time, Katie enjoys reading, singing, dancing (badly) and checking out new photo-worthy restaurants.

Zusammenfassung
An author who personally connects to the deeper themes in the book: Katie pulls from her own experience to reflect the issues pertinent to American-born teens from the Asian diaspora, facing the model-minority myth and feeling like perpetual foreigners. She started this book as a college student in 2016 amid the rise in Trumpian rhetoric, and the topic remains all-too-common today
