North of Beautiful

Finally. It would take several months and the extreme need of extra credit to actually make me do something I like. Liiiiike, posting on my blog! Which clearly, I am doing. So. I read this book. Pretty surprising, huh? Well, Its called North of Beautiful, and it's by Justina Chen Headley. The main character in this book, is a girl named Terra. Terra has a near perfect body, great hair, a hot boyfriend, an awesome best friend, a loving mother, she lives in a nice house in a nice place, and her father is a famous cartographer. So what could be wrong with her life? well, maybe the fact that her Dad is actually a bitter burnout cartographer. Or that her Dad, with his mean bitter comments, has driven her mother to obesity. Or maybe the fact is that she cant get past her port-wine stain on her left cheek. Her dysfunction family VS. her flawed face. Throw in a random asian goth guy. And viola! An amazing read :-)
