    <![CDATA[<p> How to make your Korean parents happy: </p> <p> 1. Get a perfect score on the SATs.<br/> 2. Get into HarvardYalePrinceton.<br/> 3. Don't talk to boys.* </p> <p> Patti's parents expect nothing less than the best from their Korean-American daughter. Everything she does affects her chances of getting into an Ivy League school. So winning <em>assistant</em> concertmaster in her All-State violin competition and earning less than 2300 on her SATs is simply <em>not good enough</em>. </p> <p> But Patti's discovering that there's more to life than the Ivy League. To start with, there's Cute Trumpet Guy. He's funny, he's talented, and he looks exactly like the lead singer of Patti's favorite band. Then, of course, there's her love of the violin. Not to mention cool rock concerts. And anyway, what if Patti doesn't want to go to <em>HarvardYalePrinceton</em> after all? </p> <p> Paula Yoo scores big in her hilarious debut novel about an overachiever who longs to fit in and strives to stand out. The pressure is on! </p> <p> *Boys will distract you from your studies. </p>]]>
