I get the importance of this book about a fat girl. But I did not love this book.

First of all, everybody is talking about Will participating in the beauty pageant, even the blurb of the book, but the idea begins to form in her head only halfway the book! So, in my opinion, this is a huge spoiler. But because it is in the blurb, I did not put it in a spoilertag here. But really, if the book is about the pageant, make her enter sooner in the book, or don't put it in the blurb but this made me inpatient.

Also, I don't really like Will, by character.

Spoiler

I think she was wrong to tell Ellen not to participate. I think she is leading both boys on. If you really really really like someone, like the writer wants us to believe Will likes Bo, it is impossible for your head to win from your heart.

And I don't like the ending. I get it with the meaning of this book and all,

Spoiler

that it shouldn't matter and stuff,

but I just can't handle this XD

I did enjoy buddyreading this book with Lisa in the last days of the year! but i did not really enjoyed the book. I liked how it was written about body issues and stuff, hence no 2* because that feels to less for this book, but I cannot give it any more than 3.

PS For the Dutchies: I usually am very pro-translations, but you better read the English one in stead of the Dutch edition. Not the best translation :(
