Follow exuberant Lou from tweendom through teendom, along with Cat (a cat who appears at the window one day), Emma (Lou''s video game-obsessed mother), Lou''s crush Tristan, BFF Mina, a cranky (but loving) grandparent, and Richard, the cute hipster Lou wants to set up with her mom. Now that she''s almost a teenager, Lou''s life is becoming very interesting. Playing with dolls has lost its appeal, and the boy across the street gets cuter every day. The new neighbor, Richard, just might be the perfect match for Lou''s mom. But will Lou or her mom ever pluck up their courage and actually talk to their crushes?
