Terri’s parents are separated. Each week the 13-year-old raises her flag in another TERRItory. So far so good. As if! Suddenly everywhere around her people are hit by lightnings of love: her mother falls in love – with a woman! And her best friend Nina isn’t certifiably sane anymore either. Lightnings, ascendants and molecules – everyone is somehow suddenly struck by this thing called love and it dawns on Terri: Everything is somehow different now, but somehow it’s awesome! … A wonderfully tongue-in-cheek debut about the huge chaos of feelings with a good dose of rainbows.
