Told through the eyes of our young hero, Luyanda Nkosi, we get to delve into seeing how the awesome life of a seemingly normal teenager, is not so awesome when it\u2019s surrounded by extraordinary circumstances. Having divorced parents, who are constantly at each other\u2019s throats, trying to fight for the affection of their offspring; a self-conscious, materialistic, sister who lives in a dream world (Thando); a near-senile grandmother (Koko K); and a best friend who always manages to land Luyanda in mischief (Lovers) \u2013 these are the recipes for a disastrous life that Luyanda is trying to deal with. And seeing that everyone else\u2019s opinions seem to matter most to Luyanda, he has cornered himself into trying to uphold certain appearances; appearances that involve the rest of the world believing in his perfect world.

But the closest that Luyanda\u2019s fame gets acknowledged is in his home-life, at embarrassing moments when his dad makes him act out scenes from the soapie, to impress his friends.<\/b><\/p>\n
One would think that this would be the dream life for any kid but as Luyanda is finding out, stardom doesn\u2019t make growing pains any easier…<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
