A review by shelbycolada
My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters by Sydney Salter

4.0

I read this book in middle school when I was struggling to accept parts of my body just as Salter's main character does. What I love most about books like these are, the characters teach us that it's okay to struggle or to fight for what we think is best for us, but to also decide at the last minute that we want to be someone entirely different. We can re-write our own stories at the drop of a pen. Salter takes her readers through the struggle of wanting to accept the impossible and ache to change what we see in the mirror, while bringing us to the end where we realize we decide what we do and don't love about ourselves. No one else has that power.
