The Weight of Perfect

By C. Chen

She's trying to be perfect.
He's trying to survive.
Neither of them expected to fall.

Brooklyn Evans has a plan: straight A's, a Harvard acceptance letter, and zero distractions. But when a test score shatters her carefully constructed world, everything begins to unravel.

Theodore Marly has no time for perfection. Between work, school, and caring for his sick father, survival is his only priority. There's no room for distractions - especially not someone like Brooklyn.

But when their worlds collide, they begin to discover that perfection has a cost - and sometimes, the things we try hardest to control are the ones that change us the most.

A powerful coming-of-age story about pressure, pride, and the courage to be vulnerable.
