Amid the pressure of perfect grades and an uncompromising work ethic, Deb navigates the complexities of friendship, family expectations, and her burgeoning romance with her classmate, Charlie. As she grapples with the challenges of perfectionism, Deb ultimately learns the importance of balance, self-acceptance, and the understanding that making mistakes is part of life. In a heartfelt and relatable journey, she discovers that it’s okay to be imperfect. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
