In How to Be True, Edie finds herself in a world that contrasts sharply with her upbringing. Born into a family of troublemakers, she is used to a life filled with chaos and adventure. However, when her activist parents embark on global protests, her grandmother takes it upon herself to mold Edie into a 'proper young lady.' This leads Edie to the School of the Good Sisters, a place she initially believes will stifle her spirit. To her surprise, the nuns teach her valuable skills that blend practicality with a hint of mischief, such as building a perfect library and organizing midnight feasts.

As Edie navigates her new environment, she discovers that the school is not just about conformity; it offers her a chance to thrive in her own way. The excitement escalates when a school trip to Paris is announced, bringing with it a wave of nostalgia and apprehension.
