Sophie Against the Inevitable
By Adam Mandias
Sophie Vedas is a high school junior with a secret: whenever she meditates, she can conjure visions of possible futures. With this power, she earns perfect grades, delivers perfect comebacks, and gives perfect gifts. Her life is one of curated perfection.
That is until her crush, Tay, ruins everything by running for class president—a position Sophie needs to get into Harvard. And when Tay makes Sophie promise to keep the race fair, Sophie knows that using her power to win would mean betraying her friend—and losing her chance at something more.
Staring down a split destiny, Sophie realizes she can’t have it all. And as her election chances slip away, she must decide what’s more important: the life she’s had planned around Harvard or loyalty to those she loves the most.
