Meet Alice. She's finding life way too complicated. When you don't have a mum and you've got to rely on your dad and hopeless brother for advice, it's not surprising . . . After all, what do they know about being a teenage girl?
In-between. That's what Alice decides she is. As she turns thirteen, she feels she's neither a child nor a woman and waits, not so patiently, for her beauty to blossom and to find out just a little more about the mysterious things that lead up to the big s-e-x.
But when her best friend Pamela acts too old for her age on a trip to Chicago and her other best friend Elizabeth promptly goes into shock, Alice decides that maybe being "in-between" isn't such a bad place to be. After all, what's the rush? Especially when her old boyfriend Patrick comes back into her life . . .
