}}

Sixteen year old Hayley is struggling through life in Southern California with a very un-Southern California bod and a pretty un-Southern California family life. Instead of being a rich, pretty, thin girl, she's always "the funny one" or, at best, "a pretty face". And she's getting quite fed up with it. When she realises her first real crush is very interested... in someone else, she begins to loose all hope of ever fitting in, getting a boyfriend or slimming to a weight her mother will ever be happy with. Out of the blue she's thrown a lifeline - a chance to break away from the tanned, toned, Hollywood elite and to spend her summer in somewhere a little less low key, where the folk are a little less high maintenance and appearance-obsessed. She's off to rural Italy for ten weeks, and she can't wait.
