Girl Defective by Simmone Howell
Life Is Strange!
Sky’s
life is far from normal; to start with her name is actually Skylark,
her brothers’ Seagull. Her mother has run off to Japan to become an
alternate music artist, her father has become an absent alcoholic with
the single goal in life of finding the record 'Wishing Well' by the
Millionaires and her socially awkward brother believes himself to be a
detective. And then there is Nancy.
Girl Defective is a vulnerable, naive, lonely girl, learning, making mistakes and growing up. Absorbed in a mystery, experiencing her first love, betrayed by her best friend, taken for granted by her family, she will learn to accept others for who they are and herself for her own strangeness. A charming misadventure that is quirky and chaotic, full of life discoveries, friendships, defects and acceptance.
