Fifteen is for padded cups

Aurelia is a 15-year-old Congolese-French girl trying to cope with her rapidly changing body, being accepted at school and the longing for her first kiss. When a very religious aunt comes and spends time with her family just the week before she’s supposed to go to a highly coveted end of the school year party, family tensions ensue and Aurelia struggles between trying to be the perfect African child at home and a cool and hip student within her new circle of friends.
A sweet coming-of-age story by Congolese-Canadian writer Sabrina Moella, "Fifteen is for padded cups" is an ode to 90’s teenage angst, unforgettable summers, and the timeless quest for one’s true self.
