"Hi everyone! My name is Steffi (Stefanie) and I am starting this book today to speak freely about my life. Here’s a little about me: I live in Vienna, Austria, in a nice little flat in a cosy council estate, which has a lot of Rottweilers who I think are really cute. I went through a lot of stuff between the age of 16 and 20. Once a crazy person tried to kill me – I still have a scar on my hand to prove it.’"

Stefanie Sargnagel is an Internet star, an audience magnet and a unique author. This is her first book, pretty much a classic coming-of-age novel.
