Watson delivers a thought-provoking, tender love story in this young adult novel. Over the course of a summer, Nala feels herself drifting away from her cousin-sister-friend and toward a new boy in her neighborhood. To impress him, she pretends to be someone she not. I spent much of the novel

anxious about the moment when her lies would unravel. The message that before you can love others, you need to love yourself is subtly delivered. I especially appreciated that while Nala is a big girl, it is not her fatness that gets in the way of her loving herself. She loves her body; there are other aspects of herself that she needs to learn to love.
