Gue sangat bete, kesel, dan marah ketika ada yang meremehkan dan melecehkan populasi Jomblo yang semakin hari semakin meningkat. Padahal jadi jomblo itu enak dan bebas, pergi kemana-mana gak pake ditanya-tanyain sama gebetan (soalnya gak punya gebetan) dan duit gak habis karena disuruh bayar bill restoran. Coba kita bandingkan dengan orang yang pacaran, contohnya kita lihat dari acara televisi, mereka nangis, marah, dan sampai ingin bunuh diri, ketika melihat pacarnya yang sedang jalan dengan cewek lain, padahal cewek itu adalah mamanya si cowok. Gila!, orang bilang cinta itu bahagia, tapi gue bilang cinta itu sengsara. Gue pernah pacaran dan setiap hari kita selalu malah putus sama dia. Pas gue tanya, "loh kok putus sih...". Terus dia jawab, "lha ini kan acara Katakan Putus". Gue nyesel banget telah memutuskan pacar gue tercinta. Akhirnya kami pun berpisah, dan gue jomblo sampe sekarang ini. Mau tahu kelanjutannya? Yuk Baca Partnya.

I am insufficient. Well, that's not my name obviously, but that's what my family has decided I am.
I'm Julie. I'm 14, about to be 15 years old. I have a twin sister, Jamie. Jamie is an angel. Perfect at everything, and can do no wrong. At least in my family's eyes. And I? I am not perfect. I am a disappointment. Though they've never said that to me outright, I know that's what they truly think.
The apparent "last straw" was when Jamie fucked up and I took the fall for it. Now, I'm on my way to live with some of my more distant relatives back in Italy. They're supposed to "put me back in my place."
So now I get to go live with 3 Italian Capo's.
Sounds like fun right?

What happens when Julie gets sent away? And what happens when her relatives receives a girl they had been brought to believe was a troublesome, borderline delinquent teenager, but is actually just a confused, dissociative little girl with a messed up idea of what family really means.
And what happens when Julie comes to realise that the people she was living with, weren't all who they said they were?
