Review:

The first in a new series for younger teenage girls, this story introduces us to Lucy, her best mates Izzie and Nesta and their world of music, fashion, astrology, mobile phones and boys. Lucy is feeling distinctly uneasy. At 14 it is time for her to start thinking about her future and when her teacher sets an assignment on who and what the class want to be she feels that she is the only one who doesn't know. To make matters worse, when Izzie reads the tarot cards for her they predict changes - exactly what Lucy doesn't want, especially now that Izzie seems to have a new best friend in the glamorous (and gorgeous) Nesta. When Izzie and Nesta start going out and leaving Lucy behind because she looks too young to get into the cinema, she is left feeling even more inferior and isolated. But thankfully she is made of strong stuff, and when she spies the boy of her dreams through the window of a bus circumstances take another turn and she gradually learns more about friendship, love and what she wants from life. This is a well-observed and at times hilarious account of what makes teenage girls tick. Cathy Hopkins can really empathise with adolescent fears and insecurities. Friendships and relationships are given serious consideration but with a light-hearted touch. Lucy's haircut from hell and her experiments with the inflatable bra of the title are extremely funny. The style of writing is bang up-to-date and the language modern and colloquial. --Kirkus UK
