How To Be Indie

Indie Mehta is a typical teen, hoping to get through adolescence with as much fun and as little embarrassment as she can manage. Which can be tough, when her eccentric South-Asian parents don't want to bend their old-school values for a modern teenager. Fortunately for Indie, her best pals Abi and Marion help her devise a variety of strategies for social survival.
