From Morris Award finalist Sonia Patel comes a sharply written YA about a girl grappling with a dark, painful secret from her past, perfect for fans of All My Rage and The Way I Used to Be.It’s eighteen-year-old Gita Desai’s first year at Stanford, and the fact that she’s here and not already married off by her traditional Gujarati parents is a miracle. She’s determined to death-grip her good-girl, model student rep all the way to med school, which means no social life or standing out in any way. Should be easy: If there’s one thing she’s learned from her family, it’s how to chup-re—to “shut up,” fade into the background. But when childhood memories of her aunt’s desertion and her then-uncle’s best friend resurface, Gita ends up ditching the books night after night in favor of partying and hooking up with strangers. Still, nothing can stop the little voice growing louder and louder inside her that says something is wrong. . . . And the only way she can burst forward is to stop shutting up about the past.“Funny, messy, gut-wrenching.”—Kirkus Reviews

Amor propio también es trabajar en uno mismo para conseguir actuar de una forma que te haga sentir orgulloso de la persona que eres. Imagínate que pudieras elaborar un manual de cómo quieres ser y de cómo quieres que sea tu relación con los demás. ¿Qué pedirías? Cuando te enojas o sientes emociones que te dificultan actuar racionalmente, reaccionas de manera impulsiva: pierdes los estribos, tomas malas decisiones o dices cosas de las que luego te arrepientes. Sin embargo, hay que parar a veces y preguntarse: «¿Qué haría ahora la persona que quiero ser?».   Intentar comportarte acorde con tus valores es una forma de amor propio, pero para conseguirlo es imprescindible conocerte, saber quién quieres ser y actuar de forma consciente.   Al fin y al cabo, la persona que mejor te tiene que caer en este mundo eres tú.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONSelf-love also means working on oneself to act in a way that makes you feel proud of the person you are. Imagine that you could create a manual of how you would like to be and how you’d want your relationship with others to be. What would you ask for?   When you get angry or have feelings that make it difficult for you to act rationally, you react impulsively: you lose your temper, make bad decisions, or say things you later regret. However, sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself, 'What would the person I want to be do in this situation?'   Trying to behave in alignment with your values is a form of self-love, but to achieve this, it is important to know yourself, know who you want to be, and act consciously towards that.   After all, the person you have to like the most in this world is yourself.
