Description
No matter what anyone says, 15 is such a difficult age. It's the awkward transition between your first GCSE, and the age when you can move out. Joanna Ophelia Simmonds knows that better than anyone. Her English professor Mother, with the completely normal name of Hannah Simmonds, thought it would be funny to name all of her kids after Shakespeare characters, so Jo has seen her fair share of teasing. And so has her 2 brothers: Samuel Horatio Simmonds and Oscar Mercutio Simmonds. Jo is majorly struggling through year 10. Her best friend Jackie is finding a complete breeze, making her of no help whatsoever. The town she lives in is also a complete dump with nothing to do. Much like the people. Nothing to do. Her only source of entertainment is lad spotting in the local parks. Nobody ever tells you just how hard being 15 is. Perhaps because nobody makes it to 16 without going insane first.
