With life simply overflowing with pungent melodrama, it's all Pauline and her purple pen can do to record each twist of the plot. First, her best friend splits to become a teen ice queen. Then, Pauline's dragged into the revolting details of her divorcing parents' love life. And to top it off, she finds herself falling for a self-described "neo-existentialist" -- much to the displeasure of her loyal boyfriend. How will she ever write her way out of this one?
