The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler

4.0

Carolyn Mackler never disappoints with her heartfelt YA books. This is a book that anyone could read many times and never tire of it. The main character transforms through the novel from a self conscious and withdrawn wallflower to someone who can accept herself and others, flaws and all. She grows to love and embrace her own sense of individuality (as seen when she gets her piercing) and is a more beautiful person because of it, inside and out. It's a book that makes the reader feel good, and it really cheered me up by the end.
