How to Build a Girl follows Johanna Morrigan, a bookish teenager in 1990s Wolverhampton who reinvents herself as a fearless music journalist. She ditches small-town shyness for stage-ready bravado, chasing rejection and acclaim alike while navigating a chaotic family life and first loves. The journey blends sharp wit, punk energy, and hard-earned self-discovery as she learns fame isn’t everything, but finding her voice just might save her.
