Bathroom Secrets

Emily is fourteen and convinced that she’s going to make it in Hollywood. She only needs to secure the main role in the school musical and she’ll be ready to move. She’ll share the house with her mother, who since the divorce from Emily’s father seems to have rather lost her way in life. At the start of the new school year she also resolves to become popular at last, along with her best friend Nour. How hard can it be?

Out of this funny diary a girl emerges with not only all the problems typical of her age – lack of popularity, insecurity about her looks, falling in love – but also a delightfully dramatic overestimation of herself. When her father’s new girlfriend turns out to be a lovely woman and not the mean stepmother Emily will be playing in the school musical, she finds herself wrestling with her sense of loyalty to her mother. Then, to top it all, she falls in love with a girl. Full of sarcasm and irony, and with an outlandish gift for exaggeration, this clumsy drama queen is a character to embrace with all your heart.
