Imposter Syndrome and Other Confessions of Alejandra Kim

"This is a young adult novel that adults might also want to read because it asks questions like: What does it mean to be of mixed race? And how do you navigate the world in the wake of wokeness? The title character is a Korean Argentine scholarship student at a private Quaker school. When Alejandra receives a microaggression from a teacher, her white best friend agitates for his dismissal. Alejandra, who’s coping with her father’s death and focused on getting into college, doesn’t want the attention. But eventually she starts coming to terms with her feelings about race, identity and friendship."
