In PUSHING PERFECT
by Michelle Falkoff, Kara has strived to be perfect her entire life.
She’s gotten straight A’s, been a star student, and met her
parents’ absurdly high expectations time and time again. Her
ultimate goal is to be accepted to Harvard University where she can
finally be free of her parents’ suffocating pressure. The only
roadblock in her way is the SATs. It’s the one thing that
terrifies her the most. So when a new friend mentions an illicit
drug, Novalert, Kara thinks it might be the perfect thing to calm her
mind on test day.
Her decision to buy
and take Novalert sets in motion a chain of events that will threaten
her future and expose her darkest secrets. A Blocked Sender gets
their hands on a picture of Kara handing over money for the drugs and
Kara soon realizes that she can’t trust anyone, not even the people
she thinks are her friends. She must unravel a complicated web of
lies, secrets, and blackmail.
This fast-paced,
unpredictable novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

mystery, Pushing Perfect is a page-turner. Readers will be shocked by
the plot-twist at the end!
