A fourteen-year-old girl who looks eighteen. An extraordinary mind. A world of first love, friendship, loneliness, irony, and growing up. Intelligent, curious, and unusually mature for her age, she observes the world around her with sharp humor and remarkable sensitivity. Through school, friendships, family, music, books, and unexpected encounters, she begins to discover the complicated world of love and human relationships. At the center of her inner world is Narcissus—a symbol, a companion, and something far deeper than ordinary love. As she moves between innocence and experience, she encounters people whose intentions are not always what they seem, while gradually discovering more about loneliness, disappointment, freedom, and herself. Romantic, melancholic, philosophical, and quietly humorous, this is a coming-of-age story about an extraordinary young girl who sees more than the adults around her realize.
