Halfway through the funeral of her sister's best friend, fourteen-year-old Elin has the BIG IDEA of getting married by the time she's sixteen.
A highly original novel about self-discovery and the freedom of choice - even if that choice is an unfashionable one.
Elin embarks on a secret 'Mrs Marridge project', using her school exams as a model of study. But as she works through her Research (men, childcare, mortgages), Coursework (essays including 'Why Get Married?'), Field Trips (her relations) and Mocks (eloping with Melvin), Elin discovers much, much more than she bargained for.
