Miri is fourteen and in the last year she's been mugged by puberty. She's grown six inches, expanded in all directions, her breasts are out of control, and she's prone to random eruptions of spots. Life already feels like a nightmare and now she's been asked to act as a bridesmaid for two of her siblings. Two weddings and two bridesmaid dresses - could things get any worse?
