FANTASTIC!! this book is so good!! it's one of my favourites now. I am adding it to my top 5 for sure. I can relate to this book so much. I am a bigger person and a girl, my life hasn't been easy lots of bullying and diets, even today I get reminded every day that I am bigger. I loved all the characters they were so amazing. I loved how you see all body types and ethnicity in this book. It's just so perfect The author is amazing he did such a great job with the writing. The storyline was perfect and flowed so well and I just needed more. I really hope he writes another book so we can see more of the characters. I really hope it doesn't end there. I think this is a perfect book for mature teens. I LOVED it!!
I give it 5 stars *****
Thank you Scholastic Canada for giving me the chance to read and review this beautiful book!!
