Prisca, or turning 16 today. 11 days in which all is revealed and everything turns upside down.

Prisca is 16 and has some things to day. This is her riveting diary, to which she confides her quest for identity, her disillusion over a mother who self-identifies as feminist but hunts down every last hair on her body, her father who left 3 years ago, her anger at ubiquitous sexism (teachers, students, her friend Flo's dad, gropers on the metro), her tween kid sister, her relationship with Flo (neighbor/BFF/lover/twin) and Sam (a girl so beautiful it's unreal).
15 works of art by the likes of Frida Kahlo, Klee, Courbet, and Rodin are spread throughout, intensifying emotions and bringing us closer to Prisca. Truths and punchlines fly fast and furious. Émilie Chazerand hits hard and true.
