Más bajita de lo que ella querría, plana como una tabla de surf y con un aire de niña que la hace parecer más joven de lo que es: esta es Lucy Lovering, una chica de 14 años que no está pasando por su mejor momento. Y es que últimamente todo le está saliendo mal: para empezar, su mejor amiga parece hacer muy buenas migas con la nueva de la clase --¡qué, por si fuera poco, es igualita a Naomi Campbell!—con la que se pasa el día jugando a hacerse la mayor; por si esto no tuviera suficiente, los profesores quieren saber qué quiere hacer Lucy con sus estudios. ¡Cómo si fuera tan fácil, con 14 años, saber qué quiere uno ser de mayor! Y si a todo esto añadimos un joven desconocido e inalcanzable, un wonderbra que no cumple con su deber y alguna cosilla más, comprenderemos por qué Lucy tendrá que trabajar de lo lindo para salir de este agujero tan negro.

Nesta está feliz. No es para menos, pues ha encontrado al hombre de su vida: Simon, un chico guapo, simpático y cariñoso. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?. Sin embargo, hay algo que le preocupa, la diferencia social que existe entre ellos, que Cressida, amiga de Simon se encargara de resaltar cada vez que puede. Menos mal que Izzie y Luzy estaran con nuestra Cenicenta, dispuestas a hacerle entender que es lo que realmente importa...
