Agnes Chan never expected to be the punchline of her own life . . . But how else do you explain getting accidentally run over and seeing a lifetime of careful preparation, endless training, and all your hopes of a track scholarship to college destroyed in a split second? Not to mention the only witness to your humiliation being your #1 archnemesis, Royce Taslim. So, when Agnes finds a new answer to her scholarship predicament in the form of an international stand-up comedy contest for teens, the last person she expects to be up against is also the last person she wants to Royce. Because for years Royce has represented everything Agnes extreme privilege, popularity, and physical perfection (ok maybe she doesn't hate that part so much). Behind the scenes, though, Royce's flawless façade fades away, revealing someone Agnes never expected-someone who shows her that perhaps the best parts of life are the ones you aren't prepared for-and as the competition heats up, so do things between these two rivals. But will the pressure to win be too much for them to handle-or will Agnes (and Royce) get the last laugh? |
