Henrietta's journey into (young) adulthood is as charming as it is funny. Being a teenager is not easy, nor is first love...

It's all about Henrietta! She's about to turn 13 - and officially become a teenager. But there's a lot to sort out before then: finding a steady boyfriend, for starters. She also wants answers to some pressing questions - what being in love actually feels like, how to become a great kisser, what goes on inside boys' heads, and why parents are always so embarrassing. She throws herself into research and experiments - and manages to put her foot in it at every possible opportunity.
