Book Synopsis
15-year-old Emma Chan is an aspiring musician with her eyes aimed at the stars. Sure, she might not have won any notable competitions, but she isn't "bad" by any means-unless you've met her easygoing and charming best friend, Naomi Lin, who seems to have the unique ability to accelerate Emma's heartbeat.
On the surface, Naomi has her life together. Outside of being dubbed a child musical prodigy, she's just another 15-year-old who likes coding, spending time with her friends, and reading celebrity gossip. But deep down, she longs to escape her life of expectations and build one that she truly desires, even if she doesn't know what that means yet.
When the two friends team up to compete in a coding contest hosted by their childhood idol, their seven years worth of friendship is jeopardized by deepening feelings, desperately hidden secrets, and the pressure of growing up. Emma and Naomi will have to adapt to the changing shape of their relationship, even if it means realizing that life can be so much more complicated than they imagined.
Review Quotes
Stuck in Her Head perfectly captures both the wonder and agony of being a teenager in bustling, stifling Hong Kong. A pleasure to read, and a remarkable achievement. - Jane Lo, author of All I Ever Wanted
