Every morning, seventeen-year-old Maria Anís Rosario takes the subway an hour from her boisterous and close-knit family in Queens to her private high school on the Upper East Side, where she struggles to fit in as one of the only Latina students—until Rocky welcomes her into this new life. White, rebellious, and ignored by her wealthy parents, Rocky uses her money to get away with anything. As a bond develops between these unlikely friends, neither can see their jealousy and the desire for each other’s lives. Told from the perspectives of Maria, Rocky, and their fathers, They Could Have Named Her Anything is about the rewarding discovery of what really matters.
