So Dessen hates fat people.
And romantizies teen pregnancy.
Cool.

Why would taking photos/doing the makeup for two plus size women make YOU exhausted?
Also to imply the "fattest girl in school" was so disgusting she couldn't get a 'real' date to prom.
Fuck off.


Haven't even mentioned EVERYTHING else that makes this one garbage.

I think this book will show teenage girls what not to do at their age. Sarah Dessen is good at writing books for this age group and I like that. I'm glad she doesn't jump around in age, she stays in the same age and most of the stories have similarities to one another.
