On arrival at St. Cath's - I'm escorted to my form group by a bespectacled receptionist called Miss McGregor. She's got massive, cuddly boobs, I'm guessing she's probably a 38G from where I'm standing, and I want to clutch onto them and have her tell me it's all going to be OK.

"I HAVE AN ALLERGY TO COCKROACHES," I blurt out. I have no idea where this particular Lie has come, but it's here now...

Meet Indi Raye. Her dad has 100% not just left without a trace, leaving her mum listening to Adele every night in the bath and crying. No, dad is obvs just away travelling the world on business, and sometimes Indi flies out to meet him, and picks up boyfriends, like cute Spanish Enrrrriiique. Sometimes it's easier just to FAKE IT.

Whenever Indi lies to her mum, her mum simply replies "and I'm Beyonce", but will new friends Priya and Grace be able to see who the real Indi Raye is And is she lying to cover up her feelings about her dad leaving

A modern teenage self-love story, about how to fake it until you make... friends.
