Hi there. It's Belinda.
I wrote this book because, like many teenagers out there, high school was an immensely transformative experience for me, filled with all the angst, laughter, tears, and drama that makes your teenage years so formative. Through this book, I want to not only give readers an escape into a satirical and predominantly affluent Asian American community, but also lend my voice to young readers out there who might feel lost or invisible because of their racial, sexual, socioeconomic, or generational identity.
Ultimately, I hope that Not THAT Rich takes readers through a dramatic, yet fun, story, but also inspires feelings of reflection.
