"Where You See Yourself is an absolutely necessary and affirming
addition to YA shelves." -BuzzFeed Books
Where You See Yourself combines an unforgettable coming-of-age tale
and a swoon-worthy romance in this story about a girl who's determined
to follow her dreams.
By the time Effie Galanos starts her senior year, it feels like she's
already been thinking about college applications for an eternity--after
all, finding a college that will be the perfect fit and be accessible
enough for Effie to navigate in her wheelchair presents a ton of
considerations that her friends don't have to worry about.
What Effie hasn't told anyone is that she already knows exactly what
school she has her heart set on: a college in NYC with a major in Mass
Media & Society that will set her up perfectly for her dream job in
digital media. She's never been to New York, but paging through the
brochure, she can picture the person she'll be there, far from the
Minneapolis neighborhood where she's lived her entire life. When she
finds out that Wilder (her longtime crush) is applying there too, it
seems like one more sign from the universe that it's the right place for
her.
But it turns out that the universe is full of surprises. As Effie
navigates her way through a year of admissions visits, senior class
traditions, internal and external ableism, and a lot of firsts--and
lasts--she starts to learn that sometimes growing up means being open to
a world of possibilities you never even dreamed of. And maybe being more
than just friends with Wilder is one of those dreams...
