This book was good. But.. I just wanted more. I feel like it didn't have the best ending. I would of preferred a different ending but anyways, it's still a really good read and it was really nice to read. It flowed really nice /hints why I read it in a day, haha.

This book hit me hard at some parts. My thoughts were the same as Will's. I related to her in many ways. I loved her friend group and Bo. Overall this was just really cute and fun to read

This is such a great read. Willowdean is an amazing character. She is my hero. We need more Willowdeans in the world. And Millies.

It was amazing to have a main character with a plus size body! Really captured the thoughts of a teen with my body type and I loved every second of it!

I liked this way more than I thought I would.

I loved it.

A weekend at the beach for me means it's time to read another brainless teen romance! This one is about a fat girl coming to terms with her body and trying to make other people, from her Mom to a cute boy, accept it too. The funny thing though, is that other people have a lot less issue with her size than Willowdean herself does (so true!)

The best part of the book was the friendships she makes with a crew of misfit teens from her high school and the way the author tries to make a case that cute boys who play sports can also have a sensitive and evolved side of their personality. However, I think all of that made me root for the "wrong" side of the love triangle! (Old lady perspective, I guess, had me leaning towards the cute enough nice guy over the super hot "hormones run amuck" guy!)

I had both this book and the sequel Puddin' on my kindle, having purchased them ages ago on sale, so I'm going to jump right into the next one now.
