I'm a big fan of Jo's writing, but I wasn't sure this book would be for me as YA isn't really my genre. I'm so glad I gave it a go. This is a sensitively written story of self-acceptance, with some great characters that draw you in. I particularly liked Thembi, who provided just the right amount of humour in her deadpan way. Lori is likeable and mature, which makes it easy for the reader to stay engaged.
A lovely book, thoroughly recommended.

I have just read this book it is about a young girl and her insecurities about how she looks mainly her size which stems from her being bullied previously about her weight, but she coped and had friends. She loved her life in Johannesburg where her and family lived, but then everything changed when her parents divorced and mother moved her and brother to Cape Town. This story was not just about the girl but also how the family coped with divorce. The mother spent more time on establishing her new business and promoting herself and neglected her children. The girl Lori and brother started a new school, although the brother loved his (he was on the autistic scale) Lori hated hers as they were all perfect in her eyes their figure teeth etc even the town was perfect, she felt out of it. But she was an art student and very good. She was seeing a therapist who convinced her to be herself and bought her out of herself. This book is more suited to younger readers as it tackles problems that more and more young people must be experiencing with parents divorcing and body issues. All in all it was a good read.
