Lila Mackay Finds Life Very Unfair

In the throes of her first heartbreak, 14yo Emily flees to her dad’s house to lick her wounds. To make things worse, she’s fallen out with her best friend Poppy about it all. No one can possibly understand how awful she feels.

But through another of her mother’s old diaries from the 90s, Emily learns that Lila Mackay’s teen love life was also messy, unfair, and filled with misunderstandings that resulted in a dreadful break-up with her first love, Nicky. Emily soon realises how much more important her best friend is than a dumb boy.

But she has a funny feeling that perhaps Nicky was her mum’s true love all along. Can Emily reunite with Poppy and work together to give her mum the happy ending she deserves?
