Ann Liang does a good job setting up Alice's socioeconomic status and precarious situation with her education. I can definitely feel Alice's desperation to not switch schools, as neither school will get her the necessary education needed to apply for universities that could get her family into a higher socioeconomic status.

Desperation can drive us to cross lines we normally wouldn't cross, so I'm interested to see how far Alice is willing to go. (Also, do I see a hint of secretly-in-love Henry? Very excited to see how her relationship with him changes! I can definitely see Alice wanting to find dirt on Henry most of all.)

I'm interested to see how Alice turns secret-finding into a business, and how far she's willing to go!
