YA
Middle child Mia can't live up to older sister Grace's academic success or younger sister Audrey's Olympic prospects, so she'll be a hard-partying ne'er-do-well instead. When Grace's unplanned pregnancy is celebrated, Mia goes down a self-destructive path at home, at school, and with her friends. This UK import features an endearingly flawed protagonist and a quirky, mixed-race family with a unique dynamic.
