For fans of GEEK GIRL and LOTTIE BROOKS - a hilarious teen diary novel from CBBC presenter and Capital DJ, Lauren Layfield.

Meet Indi. She's new to Manchester with approximately zero friends. Unless you count Gary, who, unfortunately, is a gecko.

If Indi's going to find some real mates - and maybe even a boyfriend - she's going to have to FAKE IT.

How else is she going to survive her first job in a chippy, which is anything but glam vibes? And how on earth will she attract school crush Johnny Hotpants while smelling like a haddock in a hairnet?

Will Indi ever get her first kiss? Will she accept her mum's new boyfriend (yuck)? And will she EVER learn that just being yourself is the most important thing of all?

A HILARIOUS new teen diary about trying to be cool when you just want to eat chicken nuggets and chat to your pet lizard.©2023 Lauren Layfield Growing Up & Facts of Life Humorous Fiction Literature & Fiction Friendship Funny Witty Feel-Good Comedy

A brilliant, bold and laugh-out-loud story ... a reminder of the importance of true friendships, being part of a sisterhood and having the confidence to be your own authentic self.
