Pippa Park picks up right where she left off…trying to balance basketball, school, friends, working at the struggling family laundromat, and fitting in. Eliot, her math tutor—and the cutest boy at school—is finally paying attention to her. And Marvel—her childhood friend—is making her required volunteering at the annual holiday pageant at her Korean church much more interesting. But things with the Royals, her new friends and basketball teammates who rule the school, still feel a bit rocky. Especially because Caroline, a head Royal, would like nothing more than to see Pippa fail. So, when Pippa is faced with hosting the annual Christmas party that could make or break her social life, how can she say no? Will Pippa make enough money to cover the costs while juggling crushes and everything else? Mustering courage and determination, Pippa sets out to host the party, find the perfect dress, pick the right boy, and stay true to her real self.
