This book is a great way to show girls that self esteem comes from the inside out. In a world where so many young women are searching for the perfect body this book shows teenagers that they can be happy with the way that they look. Girls need more books like this one.

I loved this book. It's great and makes you relize you don't have to be a size 0 to be loved. Also good for those size 0's to get good insight on how those other girls feel. a must-read for any teen or pre-teen girl.

This book was great. i think the book could be read by 11+ only if they are mature enough to read it i read it at that age and thought the book was great

In this story you can feel what the character feels. It does have sexual content, but not bad.

I love this book so much! Although it does have some cursing, teens are used to cursing. And the sexual refrences are because of her low self esteem, which she ends up breaking out of by the end of the book. Great message for teen girls. Some parts had me crying, because this book is SO relatable.

i think that it is a learning experience for all girls to read this message of this book because it sends a message to all girls that no matter what u look like u are beautiful and dont ever wait to ask how someone feels and b used dont let boys take u for granted.

funny but a bit inappropriate

This book was a horrible example of what to do in a world of peer pressure that makes you feel like you're useless. Virginia's mom was awful, her dad wasn't so hot either, her sister gave her advice that made my eyes burn, and she said things about herself that made me want to cry. Anyone that goes through these things: the things with her brother, her mom putting her down, cutting, etc, should not have to learn about self-esteem by herself. The issues in the book just magically disolved by themselves for a happy ending, but that's not how real life is, and no one should be able to think so.
