There are no good variables to work with when the answer to the equation is other peoples' idea of perfection.
Another one where I liked the previous book in the series, liked the main and side characters, liked much of what was being addressed, but still didn't love the story or execution. Le sigh.
There's no age when people stop learning about their bodies.

BUT.
The accidental pregnancy comes in so early this book should come with a warning. I mean it's not CF-friendly from the get-go, but after that it was really too much. DNF.
