Lina is just a regular middle school girl - she likes to hang out with her best friend, thinks her dad is a little "off" sometimes (especially when he has his nose in a book at all times), and is looking forward to her first kiss. She is having a hard time though; her mom died suddenly last year, and Lina doesn't know how to cope with losing someone so important to her.
Things start to go downhill quickly for Lina. She doesn't feel like her best friend, Vanessa, is really listening to her, she stops paying in English class, and finds herself in embarrassing situations.
Lina is a great character! Anyone who has ever lost someone important to them, felt like your best friend just didn't get you anymore, or wished that boys were simpler will be able to connect to Lina.
