What’s in a name?
Fifteen-year-old “Baby” Anderson has never thought much about her nickname, until she goes for her driver’s permit and discovers that her parents flat-out forgot to name her. As if being in high school wasn’t enough of an identity crisis.
As the fifth kid of her trashy, abusive mother and her barely-there father, home has never been a sanctuary. Cheerleading, the hot football player Derek Mattola, and her crazy cousin Kaia, are Baby’s escape from the harsh reality that is her messed-up life. She vows to keep her toxic family a secret, but as she tries on new identities and navigates the social ups and downs of her sophomore year, her two worlds collide.
Turns out, it’s not that easy to keep your identity private, especially if you don’t have one.
