The story focuses on a minor character from Moriarty's second young adult novel, Finding Cassie Crazy.

The story is told through letters, memos and transcripts, similar to the structure of other novels by the author.

When Bindy begins Year 11, she is disgusted to discover that she must take part in FAD, a mandatory course aimed at helping teenagers deal with the issues that face them.

The FAD course presents Bindy with a rather shocking scenario – she discovers that she is widely disliked by most of her peers, due to her arrogant and precocious attitude.

Frances Atkinson at The Age called it "satisfying and engaging", complimenting Moriarty's "convincing and often funny" dialogue.
