And it's only by overcoming her fears that she can learn the true meaning of being comfortable in your own skin.

This was the first short story I've read willingly (Without it being a book for school) and I was not disappointed. I have to admit, I was not expecting that ending and it was very satisfying.
I could relate to pratically everything Avery thought and said. Coming from someone who has acne and acne
Overall, it was a great book. As I was reading it, although a very quick read, I didn't feel alone. Knowing that the book would end quickly, I told myself I would only read it when I was in the bus to either go to university or come back home. Saying this, I was surrounded by people. Each one of them with their own problems and flaws. But during those moments, everything felt okay and I, for once, didn't feel ugly.

scars for 8 years, everything just sucks. I wish there was a miracle cure without any side effects, but my best option - Roaccutane - provides too many scary secondary reactions.Overall, it was a great book.
