The story is told by its protagonist Minnie Goetze, a 15-year-old girl living in San Francisco, California. The year is 1976, and Minnie, the daughter of a young single mother, loses her virginity to her mother's boyfriend, Monroe Rutherford, and soon thereafter begins writing obsessively in her diary.
