  • Jenna Hamilton

    Jenna Hamilton

    Jenna Hamilton is the invisible girl in high school who is wise beyond her years and has an irreverent, optimistic outlook on life. She's no Juno who's above it all -- she actually wants to fit in. Excited for a new school year, Jenna is quickly disillusioned when she loses her virginity to her crush Matty who doesn't want to take their relationship public. Things go from bad to worse when a mysterious care-frontation letter leads to a misunderstanding of epic proportions causing everyone to believe that Jenna's accident was a failed suicide attempt. Rather than let her new identity as 'that girl' define her, Jenna will turn her stigma into a catalyst for amazing change and her metaphorical rebirth. Her world is going to open up: she'll try on new hats, make new relationships and attempt to define herself. But for all the positive power her new visibility will wield, it will also cast a dark shadow that will not be easy to shake. Every step she takes forward, Jenna will also be burdened to take a step back when the stigma of her accident rears its ugly head -- but she'll make you laugh as she stumbles. As Matty and Jake work their way into her life and heart, she'll learn that sometimes it's not about getting what she wants -- it's about getting what she needs -- and that even losers can have a fairy tale!

  • Matty McKibben

    Matty McKibben

    Matty is the guy Jenna's obsessed with along with every other girl in school including Jenna's nemesis Sadie. He popped Jenna's cherry, stole her heart then broke it because he's not confident enough to admit that he likes her in public. Matty isn't your typical popular jock though. He's complicated because he's actually trapped by his own insecurity. While he ignores Jenna in public, in private he wants to bone and whisper sweet nothings. His inconsistent behavior towards Jenna complicates how she feels about him. Will he be able to step up before Jenna decides that he's more trouble than he's worth?

  • Jake Rosati

    Jake Rosati

    Jake is just rad. As the Class President, he's popular, smart and outgoing. Jake is best friends with Matty and is dating Lissa. Unlike Matty who thinks with the team, Jake thinks for himself. He's a leader, not a follower, and a sensitive guy with a heart of gold. He rolls with everyone, from the jocks to the drama geeks to the student government preps. He befriends Jenna and the closer they become, the more complicated their relationship becomes and the more he questions his relationship with Lissa.

  • Sadie Saxton

    Sadie Saxton

    Every high school has one: the rich, popular bitch. But unlike every other mean girl stereotype, Sadie's got some cushion for the pushin'... which means there's more to love -- or in her case, hate. Despite her popularity and power, Jenna senses that Sadie feels like she never measures up. Sadie makes excuses for her bad behavior because she feels entitled. She thinks the world owes her for having to suffer a fat gene. She has been given everything... except the perfect body. This complicates Sadie's secret desire: to be with Matty. Her fixation on being perfect and aspiring to be the apple of Matty's eyes will make her do anything to squash Jenna. And Jenna's a little scared because Sadie's the kind of girl that can throw down...hard.

  • Tamara

    Tamara

    Tamara is Jenna's bestie. She's a mix of bravado and inappropriateness and always good for unsolicited advice. She's always there to pick Jenna up and lie to her when things really suck... as long as Jenna doesn't steal her thunder with the guys in the marching band. Their friendship is going to start to change when jealousy surfaces around Jenna's new positive visibility. Tamara's loyalty and friendship to Jenna will be tested because girls are cruel - even to their besties - when one friend gets more attention. They made a movie about this. It's called 'Mean Girls.' Netflix it.

For this reason, Lacey's had an arrested development of sorts. Always plotting and planning the best way she can make the 'right' friends, Jenna's mom will leave no stone unturned on the way to her social stardom. Her mom's unconventional 'peer-enting' causes conflict, chaos and comedy in Jenna's life.

  • Valerie Marks

    Valerie Marks

    Valerie is a troubled lady who really has no business counseling anybody. She's a lonely, deluded soul who feels her gift in life is helping people. In reality, what she really needs is to help herself. She's a boundary crosser, a weirdo and a bit of a stalker. The kinda gal who might take upskirt photos... of herself. When Valerie gets assigned to talk to Jenna once a week, their relationship will take a turn for the unprofessional as Valerie comes to think of Jenna as her BFF. Jenna's going to become the counselor to Valerie and be subjected to more than a little insanity if not a lot of awkward laughs.
