Analee, in Real Life by Janelle Milanes

3.0

what i think this book does best is set up not the story we were all hoping for, but the story that occurs far more often. you don't get the boy. your crush isn't the love of your life. and sometimes you just have to put yourself first.

this book isn't about analee falling in love with a boy, its about her falling in love with herself and understand her own body dysmorphia -- all without her or the reader ever realizing it.
