Sculpt Yourself by Savy Leiser
5.0

What I really liked about Sculpt Yourself was how unique it was, like it's sort of a thinking novel in a sense. I feel as each year passes by, our society becomes more and more consumed by beauty. What's the next step? How can I alter myself  more to reflect the perfect version of myself?

Whatever happened to being happy with the way your are and accept yourself for your flaws? Makeup is great. I love fun eye shadow, but now, even with makeup, it's gooped and plopped on with so much foundation. In this Texas heat it would melt right off! Plastic surgery? That's where things have gone too far, and it's not hard to believe that something like this in the book could happen one day.

Sculpt Yourself has a great cast of characters. It was character driven and they felt real, like people I could know in real life. They all had their flaws, as we all do. Because no one is perfect and no one can be. Whoever came up with the idea of perfect is a moron. Besides thinking about things, there was a twist along the way that was nice! I kind of wished the book had been written in third person since it had three main POVs, but that's not a big deal. Overall, this book had great diversity, writing, snarkiness, emotion, and all kinds of things to think about, even after finishing! This is the second book I've read by the author that needs to be made into a movie!
