Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-03 00:00:00 Tom Olsson This book's packaging is a great injustice to the story inside. From the cover and jacket description, it seemed like silly teen chick lit. However, it is truly a wonderfully told coming-of-age story. Many times I forgot it was fiction and thought I was reading an actual memoir. I was so drawn into the story of Nina. I am actually surprised by it's YA classification (Baker and Taylor recommends it for 7-9 grades), as I believe its story would appeal much more to grown women.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-06-24 00:00:00 Justin Flores Sounds like a good one -- I've read the first chapter. Can't wait to read the rest. Update: I read this book in one sitting--disappeared for hours. Couldn't put it down. It's a beautiful and heartbreakingly real story about a girl with a facial birthmark. How she and her family deal with it, how it affects her personally as she comes of age and the effects of her "deformity" on the family dynamic is fascinating. Characters are well-developed. I feel like this family could be my next door neighbors -- you know, the eccentric ones. Highly recommend to teens and to adults who grew up in the 70s and 80s. This book is real.
