Description
Mia's two sisters are pretty much perfect, but Mia's life is a series of disasters. Fuelled by alcohol and insecurities, she betrays one of her best friends in the worst way imaginable. But will her little sister going missing finally make her realise making everything All About Mia just isn't going to cut it any more? It's time to grow up and face reality.
'Middle child Mia's story is for anyone who's ever been told they're 'too much', while secretly worrying they're not quite enough.' - Lisa Williamson
About the Author
Lisa Williamson was born and grew up in Nottingham. Following a degree in drama, she worked as an actor for over a decade before writing her debut novel, The Art of Being Normal. Lisa loves writing about characters who are different from her and Mia Campbell-Richardson definitely fits the bill. She's everything Lisa wasn't at 16 - loud, daring and uber confident. With no idea what's she's doing or where she's heading, she's the sort of girl who doesn't usually get to be at the centre of the story. This is exactly why Lisa wanted to take the time to get to know her and figure out what's really going on behind the big hair and fiery attitude. Lisa is also the author of Paper Avalanche, First Day of My Life, First Names: Malala (Yousafzai) and co-author of the collaborative YA novel Floored. When she's not writing, Lisa likes long walks, long talks, dessert of all kinds, good books and bad TV. She lives in London.
