Jan Miller is a senior in high school who's convinced she is destined to lead the world's least fabulous life. Her college application deadlines are looming and her French homework is taunting her. And she never seems to say the right thing around guys, unlike her best It Girl friend who knows the moves and lines to catch an older, adorable, sophisticated boyfriend. But Jan's about to learn that in life and romance, being a Not It Girl has some major rewards.
