this is a modern classic that gets better every time i read it. i did feel like the last 10% was a bit rushed and i would've liked to see more of that, but otherwise this is a flawless book.

I loved this book, it knew what it was like being a teenager, it didn't talk down to its audience and felt really heat-warming and wholsesome. Please read just for the art and the story. I adored this more than anything I have read this month. 😁

I like how Raina stood up to her "friends", who were actually bullies who took out their insecurities on her. This book is great for giving middle schoolers confidence in having braces and standing up to bullies.
