Cursed by the initials BUM, saddled with woolly liberal-minded hippies for parents and an UNDYING love for the Proper Real-Time HOT Felix Winters, BLOSSOM UXLEY-MICHAELS is a seething mass of sexual frustration and political confusion. But when she s invited to work on the school radio, Blossom s convinced her status is about to rocket from Weirdo to Winner . . .

Reviews
“A perfect fit for fans of Louise Rennison and Sue Limb who, in my eyes, are the Queens of Comedy. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, clever and quirkier than on of Paloma Faith’s hats.”
