Summary

"Seventeen-year-old Enore Adesuwa doesn't dive into things ; she walks in carefully. So when she, her mother, and her sister move from Nigeria to America shortly after her fathers' death, she wants to be extremely prepared before attending an American high school. Her cousin Adrian doesn't have time to explain the ins and outs to her, but luckily, he recommends the perfect research tool: teen movies. Still dealing with grief but armed with a set of rules of survival gathered from these beloved movies (including the crucial rule of keeping a low profile), Enore is ready for senior year. But when she meets Davi Santiago, it may be much harder than she thought to keep her rules. Because not only is he super thoughtful (and okay, very good looking); he also encourages Enore to share her incredible singing talent. She prefers the background, but it just might be time for her to take center stage. Even in spite of her mother's strict expectations."--Front flap of jacket.
