The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler

4.0

Virginia has a hard time finding her place in life. She is constantly comparing herself to others, and always finds herself lacking. Her best friend has moved across the country and she has to navigate high school by herself. Froggy is her ehn person with benefits, but Virginia knows that because she is fat he doesn't want anyone to know that he interacts with her. Soon an extreme family drama takes place and Virginia begins questioning expected roles and actions.

This novel was a pretty good standard coming-of-age novel. Not what I would call literature, because it is pretty fluffy. However, it does address many issues tough issues teens are facing.
