so-so

Between Pick and So-So. Fifteen-year-old Virginia feels like a plus-sized black sheep in her family, especially next to her perfect big brother Byron. Not to mention her best friend has moved, leaving Virginia to navigate an awkward relationship with a boy alone...

I loved this first choice for #24b4Monday (for which I will be reading banned books). It's a coming of age story about a chubby girl from an over-acheiving family as she learns that the world shouldn't be about how other people view you - it's about how you view yourself. It was engaging and I loved the main character, Virginia.

ephemeralwaltz I also loved this when I read it! 5y

Went to the public library to use the free restroom. Bought a book. My husband said, “How did you buy just one?” 😘 I love him! Side note: Ocean Beach Public Library has a fantastic book sale section.

Christine Ooh, which Ocean Beach? San Diego? If so I must check out their book sale, haven‘t been to that branch in a while! 7y

JackieSmith @Christine yes, San Diego! It‘s even organized by genre. 👍🏻 7y

Christine Oh yay! I will be heading there soon. :) (edited) 7y

Peddler410 I read this when it first came out. I‘ve recently purchased a new copy. 6y

I‘m LOVING this book so far! I wasn‘t sure what I was expecting when I started it, but this has a more sexuality-coming-of-age story than just an adolescent girl who‘s insecure about her weight. I was almost worried about it feeling a little too “childish” for me, but honestly reading in Virginia‘s point of view gave me flashbacks to how I felt at that age; Definitely worth the hype! #currentread #mountTBR

WhatDeeReads I loved Mackler as a teen. I've read all of her books, including this one, it is definitely a fun romp. 8y

WarpedSweetness I read this book a few years ago! It was really good! 8y

CindyMyLifeIsLit I seem to remember reading this (or part of it) years ago and laughing out loud. It's really funny! 8y

Zelma This is a fabulous book. Definitely humorous, but with a lot of serious topics as well. So well done. 8y
