I'M NOT YOUR MANIC PIXIE DREAM GIRL

Gretchen McNeil

Senior year is looking up for math genius Beatrice Giovannini and her friends. A perennial pariah at her high school, Beatrice used her prowess with numbers to solve the problem of social hierarchy by creating The Formula - a surefire way to gain acceptance from the bullies and mean girls who have made their lives a living hell. And it works. Her friends are slowly gaining a social foothold, and even relationship-phobic Beatrice has found herself a boyfriend: the seemingly out-of-her-league Jesse Sullivan.

When Jesse unceremoniously dumps her for Toile, the quirky, effervescent new girl at school, Beatrice revamps The Formula to solve her own problem, reinventing herself as "Trixie" - a classic, manic pixie dream girl - in order to win Jesse back. But as the manic pixie war between Beatrice and Toile escalates causing unforeseen shifts in friendships and popularity, Beatrice begins to question her social identity, the power of choosing who you want to be, and whether or not Jesse truly deserves her heart.
