Korean American teen Joyce faces a tough decision when her aunt offers to pay for the cosmetic surgery that would give her eyelid creases. Will the surgery make her beautiful like her sister and attract her crush? Joyce's woe-is-me self-centeredness makes it difficult to sympathize, but her desire to fit in will resonate with readers of every background.
