The Heart Is Not a Size by Beth Kephart

2.0

A group of teens go to an empoverished Mexican town to build a communal washroom. While there, they combat the regular teen issues (self-image, eating disorders, panic/anxiety) and learn about the different culture. The only thing was, there were so many different characters that I didn't really feel any emotional connection to the members of the group, other than the main three. And even with those, there wasn't much there. It seemed a little typical, and almost left off without a real ending. It took me a while to get into it, and even once I was 'into it' I wasn't all that fascinated.
