"Colie expects the worst when she's sent to spend the summer with her eccentric aunt Mira while her mother, queen of the television infomercial, tours Europe. Always an outcast -- first for being fat and then for being "easy" -- Colie has no friends at home and doesn't expect to find any in Colby, North Carolina. But then she lands a job at the Last Chance Cafe and meets fellow waitresses Morgan and Isabel, best friends with a loving yet volatile relationship. Wacky yet wise, Morgan and Isabel help Colie see herself in a new way and realize the potential that has been there all along" -- Goodreads
This book is amazing. I've read it maybe four or five years ago but I guess I never truly grasped it until this time. Now I can grasp the whole weight issue, and the not-fitting in, and just those certain types of struggles. Miss Sarah Dessen did an amazing job with this book, she wrote it perfectly. The relationship between Isabel and Morgan is the best, it's a real friendship with the arguments and disagreements. It's quirky and funny.
Mira is an inspiration when it comes to the 'fitting in' issue. I love that she doesn't care what other people think while she's just being herself. She's strong, and confident.
And for Colie, Colie is amazing in the fact that she starts to believe in herself. An essential every person should do.
Love this book, to the moon and back.
