This slice of life spans a year in which three 13-year-old girlfriends do a lot of growing up—sensitively and humorously!

Antigone, Camille, and Nina are 13 with tons of questions. For starters: when does real life begin? They'd like to be off the sidelines and living out their own adventures, become women who are proud, independent, and uh.. also, beautiful, confident, beloved, and in love. Antigone decides to take her fate into her own hands. She has a plan—no, two. Three! First, become a feminist. Next, get invited to parties. And third, find a boyfriend. Also, get makeover. No, wait—isn't that antithetical to feminism? Drat! And, oh, no—here comes family drama to manage.
So when does real life begin, anyway?
