Verity "Very" Nelson can do it all. She's student body president, debate club whiz, and first chair clarinetist. You could say she's pretty much the best at everything...Well, almost everything. Everything except math. And it's not like she doesn't try. Math just doesn't make sense in her brain. But it better start soon, or else she can kiss her presidency--and her campaign promises--goodbye. Soon Verity finds herself enrolled in a remedial math class where, despite her best efforts, failure persists. All seems lost until a teacher helps her discover the truth: Verity has dyscalculia, a learning disability that causes her to mix up numbers. Armed with a new perspective, can Verity pass math, keep her presidency, and make good on her word to the student body she loves so much? Or will her presidency--and perfect reputation--all come crashing down?

On January 1, 1996, she aspires to be the cool girl everyone notices, like her stunning best friend, Landry. Although she typically dislikes New Year's resolutions, this year she commits to becoming that captivating girl and documenting her journey through prose, illustrations, and comics.

Despite these changes, she still feels unremarkable—until a shocking betrayal reveals the true value of her diary's words and drawings. Ultimately, Christine learns that she doesn’t need to be cool to be noticed; she just needs to be herself. This powerful coming-of-age story, set before the Internet era, delves into themes of betrayal, first love, self-expression, and the transformative power of art.
