Ronnie is totally bored. She lives in a crap, boring town with her crap, boring family, and all she wants is to escape and have the kind of life she reads about in magazines. Sometimes Ronnie makes stuff up, just to keep things interesting. Not lies, exactly, more like massive, outrageous, whopping great fibs.
The thing is, people have stopped believing anything she says she's turning into The Girl Who Cried 'Beyonce is Totally My Cousin's Best Friend'. Then one day Ronnie gets knocked out in a head to head dodgem collision. When she wakes up, her life has been turned u op ep!sdn and nothing will ever be the same again...
Staff Review:
Such an interesting story. Love how the book is designed. Definitely adds to the quirkiness and works favourably well. It's hilariously funny and at times, brimming with dramatic emotion...much like Ronnie herself, of whom you can't help but love and adore... Loved it!
