Natalia's life is a bit odd. She is the daughter of a famous actor (think "The Rock") but she doesn't know who her mother is. They have recently moved to Canada to get away from the paparazzi due to an incident in San Francisco. Natalia still writes to her friend there but it is complicated because her friend was the reason they left. She also still talks to "The Bird" - a woman she randomly called on a phone she found and now talks to regularly. In Canada, Natalia meets Harry. Harry is going through his own stuff. He was born Harriet and his parents are struggling with accepting him as Harry. In the midst of it all Natalia is trying to figure out life, friends, puberty, and changes in general.
This was a decent book - some humor, some angst. I thought there was a bit much that coincidentally happened around the same time. Kids won't mind as much as I did. Not sure yet how I am feeling about this overall - I think it needs to sit with me a bit more.
