There's a lot about this book that I had a hard time wrapping my head around, the entire first page left me baffled. Like ma'am you're a sex-ed teacher but how do you not understand that periods aren't regular? The mom alone had me wanting to DNF this book, but I figured I would stick it out a bit longer...and yet I still wanted to scream. I'm tired of mean girls, especially when the one-plus girl is used like a prize. Rory must convince Beckett the high school quarterback to take her to homecoming, but he doesn't know she exists.
This is a book I wish I could read in high school, I love the message about loving yourself no matter what size you are. Although it seemed like her family wasn't the most supportive, I'm glad that Rory found a group that she could see herself in and rely on in the end. I felt that the romance between Rory and Beckett was a little fast, I would have liked to see a bit more of chase between the two of them. This read a little like a YA in my opinion.
