"Jessica Darling is a cynical sixteen year old girl trying to find her place in life. When her best friend Hope moves away Jessica is upset. She finds herself alone to deal with a family that doesn't understand her, friends who she doesn't like, and the attentions of the school "bad boy". To top it all off Jessica and her friends are now the subject of a celebrity tell all book! When she accidentally becomes editor for the school newspaper it just might be the perfect outlet to vent her frustrations, but how much does she believe in free speech? Jessica deals with each crisis using her trademark wit and sarcasm as she tries not to live up to her "Darling" of a name.
