How To Rock Braces and Glasses by Meg Haston

4.0

Kacey Simon is hilarious! This is a breezy story that will make you laugh out loud. Poor, Poor Kacey. She went from most popular girl in school to most made fun of. All because she got braces and glasses.

The story starts off with Kacey showing off her new contacts. Which she had forgotten to use the drops for and ends up with an eye infection. She needs to wear glasses for a few weeks until her eye heals. On top of that she ends up having to get braces all in the same week which leaves her with a major lisp!

What Kacey soon learns is how quickly your friends can turn on you. She learns a lot about herself and who her true friends are. Which brings me to Zander! Zander is the swoony boy who accepts Kacey, lisp, glasses and all. It just takes her a little while to realize that she accepts him too and his skinny jeans! LOL

This book totally reminded me of junior high. That is when the cliques start to form and all the people you were friends with in grade school start to turn on you and new friendships are formed. Paving the way for high school.

The audiobook was read by Casey Holloway. At first when I started the book, it seemed like Ms. Holloway was talking really fast and I had to struggle to follow the story. It did not take me long to catch on. I thought she did a fantastic job as Kacey Simon, lisp and all!
