A high-school junior already feels awkward and cynical. Her life becomes exponentially more complicated when her best friend, and only confidante, begins dating her older brother. Feeling utterly betrayed and isolated, she navigates a series of social catastrophes and deep personal humiliation, all while grappling with the intense growing pains of adolescence and her strained relationship with her mother.
