Synopsis

It's Derry and it's the Hallowe'en break. And Aimee McCourt Logan's cross-border exchange partner (yeah, she goes to that kind of school) Caoimhe is coming to visit. More to the point, she's bringing her dream-god brother Darren with her. Meanwhile, Aimee is trying to keep her co-best friends' lives on track and she's implementing a new health and beauty regime (any day now). Armed with her trusty stack of lists, a hot chocolate and the all-powerful Facebook - and with a little hindrance from her cat, Rainbow - nothing is impossible. This is a hilarious and honest depiction of life as a fifteen-year-old, when virtual friends sometimes seem more important than real ones -

Media Reviews
Felicity McCall has created a memorable protagonist. Written in the first person, Aimee's style is lively and exuberant, full of constant digressions, flights of fancy and teenage philosophy. . . . The narrative skittered along with zest and freshness. --Books Ireland
Mothers of young teenage girls will get a great understanding of how the teenage mind works on reading this novel. It is a tool to open up mother/daughter discussion. --Irish American News
