The Art of Overthinking

Isla Wu is fine.

Or, at least, that's what she tells herself. She has friends, semi-supportive—albeit judgmental—tiger parents, and good grades, so why wouldn't she be okay? Besides, anything other than "fine" is not suitable for an American-born Chinese girl with Ivy League dreams.

But still, the numbness claws at her.

Everything goes to crap when she spills coffee on a new guy (how meet-cute, NOT). Yet, as she starts to like him, everything she thought she once knew unravels until the numbness threatens to pull her under. Because when you're at the top, the only way to go is down, and ignoring her problems or feelings doesn't help anyone.

Maybe Isla Wu is not fine.

Set in the backdrop of New York City and immersed in the academically elite high school culture, "The Art of Overthinking" is a celebration of the ties that bond us and a love letter to mental health.

*Fans of "How It Feels to Float" by Helena Fox, "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" by Jenny Han, and "Every Last Word," by Tamara Ireland Stone will enjoy THE ART OF OVERTHINKING.
