Description: When sixteen-year-old Anna drops out of school and moves to Liverpool, she feels like her life has finally begun. She's working for an exciting theatre company, she's living with some students that she hopes will become good friends in time, and their house is cute (if not slightly run-down) and on a buzzing street lined with shops, bars, and buskers. But although her new life is fun, it's also a little overwhelming. And although Anna's housemates seem to be a gang of firm friends (a gang that doesn't really seem to include her) they're also a little mixed-up, and soon Anna can't resist the idea of blogging and tweeting about her experiences, from the hilarious to the ridiculous to the little-bit-scary. Online gossiping doesn't count, right? But when Anna spills a bigger secret than she can handle, suddenly the consequences are all too real. She'll have to prove she has the mettle to make it in the big city, or risk losing everything she thinks she wants.
