Seventeen-year-old Jana Thompson is just beginning what should be the best year of her life - her senior year. It's supposed to be amazing, but if the first few days of school are any indication, this year is going to be, well...pretty awful. A self-image problem (with a nasty new attitude), a desperately cute guy with an annoying sense of civic responsibility, and a family Jana would love to wish on her worst enemy - a certain gorgeous blonde- are just the tip of the iceberg. Add a vicious inner-city gang with revenge on its mind, and she's on a collision course with disaster. Things could get messy, so buckle up and hang on. This is Jana's Journal, and it's no holds barred.
