The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler
3.0
My final thoughts:
Via Black 'n Write Reviews
Virginia Shreves considers herself and larger-than-average girl and sometimes believes she was switched at birth, since the rest of her family is “perfect family”, fit or athletic, bilingual (and she can barely conjugate her verbs), golf club swinging, art museum connoisseurs, and high achieving. While she would much rather sit at home munching on chips and watching TV, or writing emails to her best-friend, Shannon.
***
Overall, it’s a happily ever after style story. Virginia realizes that if she cares more about how she feels about herself and less about what others think than she has a better chance of allowing herself to be happy. She took her rose-colored glasses off and she could finally see what kind of life she was truly living. It kind of reminds me of the book [b:Big Fat Manifesto|1114929|Big Fat Manifesto|Susan Vaught|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317064236s/1114929.jpg|1101935] by Susan Vaught, except the main character is an overweight teenager who exudes confidence, whereas Virginia is very insecure about her weight.
