Kris’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

Please note you can bump your own thread 30+ days after the last comment in the thread - because this group is so large. If you remember new details, you can add them at any time.

Yona, I copied some plot details to the topic header and added a spoiler alert.

Around what year did you read this book?

What type of company does her husband own?
What is her job?
Story's location/ country?

Yona (⁠╥_╥⁠) wrote: "I wish I could find the book that I'm searching for like you but nobody's answering and the post was followed by tons of other ones
what should I do ?"

We recommend that people bump their own threads (no one else's threads) every 30+ days. Or sooner if you can add more information.

Also, add more details to the topic header (such as plot but no spoilers, main characters, story's location and time period, when you read the book, etc.). Most people only scan the headers. If your header sounds too generic, they might not click to read the details.

Great! Glad you found your book, Stacy. Thanks for the update.

I sliced up some salami and nibbled on it. Not a feast, but not bad. Not bad at all.
- (p. 103) When I opened the door I was greeted by a whiff of garlic. The whole closet smelled like a salami factory.

Kirkus Review:

- "When offered a chance to write an anonymous column for the school paper chronicling Dunfield High’s efforts in Chicago’s citywide literacy challenge, 16-year-old Luisa Perez jumps at the chance. She hopes to distance herself from her family’s legacy of academic underachievement as well as to differentiate herself from the ten other Luisa Perezes in the school. The competition between the girls and boys heats up, as each group tries to outdo the other in fundraising. Luisa offers the girls’ perspective for the paper, while another writer provides the male point of view. ..."
