Abby is used to it being just her and her dad at home, but now her dadβs new girlfriend Jen is moving in and everything is changing. Itβs not like Jen is an evil stepmother, though. Instead, Abbyβs problem is that Jen is just too nice! She constantly compliments Abby on everything from her appearance to her schoolwork, and Abby finds it fake and claustrophobic. But how can she explain to her dad how she feels when Jen hasnβt really done anything wrong?
