At sixteen-year-old Lola’s Texas high school, there’s a classic Breakfast Club mix of students — jocks, nerds, princesses, and misfits. Lola, nicknamed Lowly, fits mostly into the latter category, but she’s determined to make the 1981-82 school year a success. Among the challenges are trigonometry, unrequited crushes, and the Demented Duo, a pair of insufferable boys who make John Bender look like a sweetheart.
High school: a place traditionally home to homework, cliques, and bullies. The high school that Lola attends is no different, yet for her, the place is extremely trying. Raised as a Christian teen, Lola strives to be an overall good and kind person, yet that is much easier said than done, especially when the "Demented Duo" is extremely persistent in insulting her at every turn.
