3 | A [[ComingOfAgeStory coming-of-age]] series of works chronicling the daily life of Julia Lind, a depressed, but [[BrainyBrunette thoughtful, open-minded]] [[CuteBookworm bibliophile]] and [[ThePhilosopher truth-seeker]] striving to shed the frivolous labels she received at the peak of her popularity throughout middle school, alongside her two cousins, Mateo, a 13 year old amateur filmmaking enthusiast and Claudia, a cynical, quick-witted, 15 year old skeptic who's "so over high school". |

5 | As she endeavors to craft an authentic identity, she distances herself from the mainstream, as well as [[WeusedToBeFriends past friendships]] and LoveInterests while being conflicted between maintaining a close relationship with a naïve and impractical longtime best friend and gradually establishing a new one with a [[TheCharmer jocular, witty]] new girl who threatens to strives coax Julia out of her out of her shell. |

7 | As she embraces her introverted personality and slowly adjusts to the role of the observer, Julia tries to conceal her fear for the impending future by engrossing herself within a world of fiction and literature, while recording her insights within multiple diaries and letters she exchanges with a frequent poster on an anonymous online blog. She develops an intense, questionably romantic friendship with Christopher, a lighthearted, soft-spoken loner and fellow student librarian burdened by the circumstances of his parent’s alcoholism and dysfunctional relationship who is looking to project a false smile to detract attention from his struggles. |

9 | The series centers around Julia’s perspective and the mishaps she encounters alongside a group of very different teens whom, while having conflictive personas and hail from different backgrounds and home lives, try to understand and transcend true-to-life situations that don't always have happy endings. |
