The Summer of Jordi Perez by Amy Spalding
3.0

I give it three stars because most of the conflict was caused by the main character being dumb and not a lot happened to other than that.

"People get so worked up when I'm honest about not wanting the world to see me, even though I don't know why that isn't a normal, accepted attitude. I'm so tired of hearing that there's something beautiful about me, when I'm not arguing that. Of course my girlfriend thinks I'm beautiful, of course Malia thinks I look great when I spend so much effort on my look, of course Jax thinks I'm fuckin' cute. They have something invested in me while the world doesn't. And it's okay that the world doesn't. I don't need it to...."

I really liked Abbey's friendship with Jax.
