After 15 years of being a good daughter and loyal friend, wouldn''t you expect the people closest to you to believe you? To at least try to understand what you mean? Since my evil aunt moved in, everything has gone wrong.

My little sister thinks I''m a thief.

My best friend thinks I''m a jerk.

My parents think I''m bulimic.

And the boy I love thinks I''m not into him at all.

Somehow I have to set the record straight before I totally lose my mind.

Marie Lamba''s debut novel tells the story of how 15-year-old Sangeet Jumnal''s sleepy suburban life suddenly gets super complicated.
