While Greer got on my last nerve often, as a girl who had a chest bigger than others and a mother whose well meaning comments did nothing to help, I’m SO HAPPY this book exists. Again Greer’s constant hyperbole did ruin the book a tad bit but she’s a self conscious teenager with very little else going in her life except trying to be invisible rather than noticed for her body so I can’t say it didn’t make sense. Bonus points for a hijabi volleyball player and a side character named Talia (my name hehe)
