Imagine what it would be like having your divorced mother act like you!

Instead of you going out on dates, your mom is! And her mood swings are just like a teenager's -- "shifting from fury to depressed calm, rage to agitated sadness, hysterics to silence."

Plus your dad and his new wife are about to deliver a new baby half-sister... and if that's not bad enough, you have a secret that you can't even tell your very best and most trustworthy friend! Would you be upset much?

Lacey is! She feels her mother is having too much fun. It's not good to date a personal trainer or wear tight jeans when you're someone's Mom, her Mom especially.

Lacey is a teenager struggling through all the regular stuff and more. She has a best friend, hates a certain teacher and has a crush that she finds hard to flirt with. "Right from the start, his very presence had made her knees tremble. The sound of his voice had given her goosebumps. An accidental nudge had made her heart hammer."

Lacey also has normal teenage feelings like envy.

Take her sister Rosie's boyfriend for instance. Lacey dislikes him for a number of reasons, but she's still envious of her sister for having a boyfriend. That is, until she finds out what Rosie and Joey are doing!

How does Lacey cope?! Losing Louisa shows you how one teenager deals with very real problems. This is a book every girl should read. It gives you true perspective on sticky situations from the viewpoint of a girl just like you!
