The Earth, My Butt and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler
4.0
I read banned books. That's how I found this one. It was on the list of top 100 banned books or some such. It came up as a Kindle deal, so I got it. I generally have several books going at once and one is always a Kindle book that's more fluffy to read at the gym. I want to be entertained while I exercise, but since my body's getting a workout, I don't want my brain to at the same time. So I read a lot of YA and romance at the gym.
I don't condone book banning. But I can see why this one makes the list. It touches on everything. Underage drinking, masturbation, self-harm, piercing, date rape, etc etc etc. I thought it was a very good book that managed to be entertaining why taking on some hard stuff. The drinking and masturbation were just mentioned. The piercing was a way for the character to rebel. The real meat of the book came from the date rape and self harm. It feels like it would be a good book for girls in their later teens to read, especially ones dealing with self-image problems.
