Where You See Yourself
(eAudiobook)
Description
Where You See Yourself combines an unforgettable coming-of-age tale, a swoon-worthy romance, and much-needed disability representation 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... Advance Praise for Where You See Yourself: "Funny, true, and tender, this is a beautiful and resonant debut." - Nina LaCour, Printz Award-winning author of We Are Okay "Big hearted and beautiful. I'd follow Effie anywhere." - Elana K. Arnold, National Book Award finalist author of What Girls are Made Of "A sweet, moving, and triumphant story about finding your voice and the power of taking up space in a world that doesn't always see you. Claire Forrest is a much-needed voice in young adult literature." -Brandy Colbert, award-winning author of The Voting Booth "A sweet coming-of-age romance that perfectly captures the impatient nostalgia of senior year and the love story between a girl and her future, Where You See Yourself will have your heart bang-snapping, melting, and dropping into your butt. I want to put this book into the hands of everyone who's planning for, going through, or traumatized by the college admission process!" - Anna Meriano, author of This Is How We Fly and It Sounds Like This "Forrest's triumphant, warm-hearted, and romantic debut takes ableism to task while celebrating both learning and fighting for what you deserve. I cheered, I cried, I fist-pumped." - Dahlia Adler, author of Cool for the Summer "Heartfelt, wry, and unputdownable,Where You See Yourself is a must-read." - Nicole Kronzer, author of Unscripted "Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, Where You See Yourself is a book I needed as a disabled high school senior. What a gift Forrest has given readers." - Lillie Lainoff, author of One for All "A beautiful portrayal of disability and going after your dreams. Where You See Yourself is equal parts relatable, romantic, and necessary." -- Melissa See, author of You, Me, and Our Heartstrings Claire Forrest is a novelist and essayist who holds an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University.
