    Thirteen-year-old Christine just discovered an alien near the skate park across from her house and totally can not tell anyone! Her older sister Aimee is preoccupied counting down the days until the loss of her virginity while simultaneously stuck in a deep blue sea of beer-chugging, pimple-faced weirdos. Unsure of what to do with her alien, Christine is greeted by a chorus of nebulas. She finds new things in her underwear. She finds all these new feelings -- down there -- that she’s never felt before. Both sisters are finding that whatever sexual appetite their tiny teenage hearts are yearning for is cosmic, insatiable, and definitely intergalactic.
