""As a fan of Greyâs Anatomy (and Chicago Med!), I couldnât put down On Rotation, and you wonât be able to, either. Shirlene Obuobi makes you feel as if youâre actually right there with the lovable Angie, and I personally couldnât get enough.""âMeg Cabot, New York Times bestselling author
For fans of Greyâs Anatomy and Seven Days in June, this dazzling debut novel by Shirlene Obuobi explores that time in your life when you must decide what you want, how to get it, & who you are, all while navigating love, friendship, and the realization that the path youâre traveling is going to be a bumpy ride.
Ghanaian-American Angela Appiah has checked off all the boxes for the âPerfect Immigrant Daughter.â
Enroll in an elite medical school Snag a suitable lawyer/doctor/engineer boyfriend Surround self with a gaggle of successful and/or loyal friends But then it quickly all falls apart: her boyfriend dumps her, she bombs the most important exam of her medical career, and her best friend pulls away. And her parents, whose approval seems to hinge on how closely she follows the path they chose, are a lot less proud of their daughter. Itâs a quarter life crisis of epic proportions.
Angie, who has always faced her problems by working âtwice as hard to get half as far,â is at a loss. Suddenly, she begins to question everything: her career choice, her friendships, even why she's attracted to men who don't love her as much as she loves them.
And just when things couldnât get more complicated, enter Ricky Gutierrezâbrilliant, thoughtful, sexy, and most importantly, seems to see Angie for who she is instead of what she can represent.
Unfortunately, heâs also got âwastemanâ practically tattooed across his forehead, and Angieâs done chasing mirages of men. Or so she thinks. For someone whoâs always been in control, Angie realizes that thereâs one thing she canât plan on: matters of her heart.
