Fifteen-year-old Chloé walks through the doors of a new school and steps into uncharted territory, in this story of sexual awakening in the 21st century. She quickly makes friends with class hottie, Luna, and falls hard for her new best friend’s hunky ex-boyfriend, Félix. But those monumental turning points in life, like first love and sexual initiation, are not as simple as they used to be. And Chloé’s world is scattered with the landmines of competitive social networking, online teen exhibitionism and a surfeit of pornography — a landscape she tiptoes through with her heart in her boots but her eyes wide open.
