About this eBook

That's what I am. A funny girl. A friend. Nobody's girlfriend. The girl with the pretty face.

Hayley wishes she could love living in Santa Monica, blocks from the beach, where every day—and everybody—is beautiful and sunny. But she just doesn't fit in with all the blond, superskinny Southern California girls who have their plastic surgeons on speed dial. Hayley is smart and witty and has such a pretty . . . face. Translation: Don't even think about putting on a bikini, much less dating superhot Drew Wyler. A bikini will never be flattering, and Drew will never think of her as more than a friend.

Just when Hayley feels doomed to live her life in the fat lane, her parents decide to send her to Italy for the summer—not for school, not for fat camp, just for fun. It's there, under the Italian sun, that Hayley's vision of herself starts to change. She's curvy, not fat. Pizza isn't evil. And life is so much more than one-size-fits-all. Who knows? Once Hayley sees herself in a new light, maybe the girl with the pretty face will finally find true amore.

This book is overall a good read. It is short, and I got through it quickly. I loved reading the beautiful descriptions of Italy, and I like the message of the book. I like the characters, but I think they should be deeper, and less stereotypical. The book is a little bit cheesey, but the lesson is important, to love yourself.

It was a good book, I must say. The story line is very real which makes it relatable. When a book is relatable it's definitely better in my opinion. However, sending the teenager to Italy? Was that really a necessary part of the book?
