I am highly disappointed in this book. Lucy is picked on by everyone. Her siblings, her schoolmates, her parents. She does make a friend, but wants to be a secret friend so the cool kids don’t find out. I thought things would pick up once Lucy earned the spot as the lead guitarist for her favorite band, but nope. She has to wear a watermelon helmet so her Uncool does not rub off on others. It doesn’t matter that she is the best guitar player, only how she looks. But it’s not just that. The author has other characters call Lucy and “fag”, a “dike”, etc. It just gets on my nerves. I almost didn’t finish this book. It was really close. Yes it does redeem itself in the end, but it takes over ¾ of the book for that to even begin. Just UGHHHH and NO!
