This book was a favorite of mine growing up. Upon another read, it didn’t hold up nearly as well but the main premise still holds up. A great read for a tough weekend. There are certain passages that 13 year old me still maintains as the reason I was able to start accepting myself and my body. A great teen read, maybe not an adult one.
