On Rotation book by Shirlene Obuobi

On Rotation by Shirlene Obuobi is a contemporary romance and coming-of-age novel set in the world of medical school, where ambition, identity, and love collide.

The story follows Angela “Angie” Appiah, a Ghanaian-American medical student who has spent her life trying to be the “perfect immigrant daughter”—successful, disciplined, and focused on becoming a doctor. But her carefully structured world begins to fall apart when she fails a major exam, breaks up with her boyfriend, and starts questioning her entire life path.

Everything shifts when she meets Ricky, a thoughtful and creative artist who challenges how she sees love, success, and herself. Their connection grows slowly but becomes complicated as both carry emotional baggage, family expectations, and fear of being hurt. Angie is forced to confront whether she is living for approval—or for herself.
