Sincerely, Nova ✓
[completed] Nova Carter knows exactly what the next few years of her life will look like: she will work harder than anyone else (as she didn't get into New York University to slack off); she'll be keeping her head down and prioritizing getting her affairs in order; and she'll ultimately make her parents proud by being the living proof of anyone with a disability being able to make their dreams come true.Little does she know that her carefully crafted path is about to take a detour into the extraordinary.After all, she hadn't quite anticipated befriending the son of famous billionaire Sergei Macarevich on the first day of her orientation week, nor meeting the son of equally famous billionaire Hudson Wilder that same night. And she definitely hadn't anticipated tumbling right into the inner circle of New York's elite (disability, clumsiness, inexperience and all).As Nova navigates this thrilling new landscape, she forms an unconventional family. With her childhood best friend by her side, Nova immerses herself in the lives of her newfound wealthy companions, an exuberant roommate, and a spirited group of NYU's disabled rebels led by their eccentric counselor - finding love in forms she'd never dreamed of on her way.A romantic, heart-warming and diverse coming-of-age with a Spotify playlist and characters' social media posts.Achievements :)#1 in diversityinlit#1 in disability #2 in campus#2 in cerebralpalsy#7 in richkids
