Description

Sixteen-year-old Louise Harrison is insecure about a lot of things—amongst them: her hair, her fashion sense and her “big-boned” build. At least her social status is secure because of her BFF, Sienna Marshall, a certified member of the mega-watt crowd. But all hell breaks loose when Louise’s brother walks in on their father, Len, and Sienna’s mother, Sunny, in a flagrantly compromising position. Soon after, Len and Sunny move in together.

When Sunny decides to return home to her family, everyone lays blame for the entire fiasco on one guy, and Louise calls him dad. Louise instantly loses her BFF and is ostracized by the “it” girls at school. Just when it appears things couldn’t get worse, Louise’s mom announces she’s pregnant—and the baby’s father is Louise’s math teacher!

Wry and melodramatic, smart and spirited, Louise is a typical girl who just wants to fit in. This fun and upbeat novel will captivate readers as they enter Louise’s wildly topsy-turvy world.
