Patnáctiletá Virginia to opravdu nemá lehké. Všichni z její rodiny vypadají prostě úchvatně, jsou úspěšní, sportovně založení, všude oblíbení a mimo to ještě mluví plynně francouzsky. Jinými slovy dokonalost. Jen ona, se svým příliš velkým zadkem a příliš nízkým sebevědomím, platí za černou ovci rodiny. Pak ale její všemi obdivovaný bratr vyletí ze školy a Virginia zjistí, že za perfektním zevnějškem se mohou skrývat i nepříjemná tajemství. Nejprve to pro ni znamená konec světa a strašlivé zklamání, pak však pochopí, že je to šance na změnu, a s letenkou v ruce se vydává na cestu, aby lépe poznala sama sebe. Konečně se naučí pořádně žít, nechá si udělat piercing do obočí, vlasy nabarví na fialovo a začne nosit oblečení jaké vždycky chtěla. Také založí školní časopis a její matka se ji naučí respektovat stejně jako všichni ostatní. Vtipně psaný dívčí román o tom, že pěkná postava opravdu není vše. Virginia má velkej zadek... no a co?
