Summary:
"When
TJ
Powar
- a pretty, popular debater - and her cousin Simran become the subject of a meme: with
TJ
being the "expectation" of dating an Indian girl and her Sikh cousin who does not remove her body hair being the "reality" -
TJ
decides to take a stand. She ditches her razors, cancels her waxing appointments, and sets a debate resolution for herself: "This House Believes That
TJ
Powar
can be her hairy self, and still be beautiful." Only, as she sets about proving her point, she starts to seriously doubt anyone could care about her just the way she is - even when the infuriating boy from a rival debate team seems determined to
prove
otherwise. As her carefully crafted sense of self begins to crumble,
TJ
realizes that winning this debate may cost her far more than the space between her eyebrows. And that the hardest judge to convince of her arguments might just be herself." --Book jacket.
