This one was just not for me, it started out well, an interesting format with great writing and characters that are so real they could have been people I knew having conversations I had. Then throughout the book, I realized I just didn't want to read about the depression, sadness, jealousy, lies, and insecurities of a teenager. And while the book's main character gets older, unlike most there is never really an acceptance or respect given to her own body, no growth of experience just more of the same with a very little maturity, by the end, it had become a stereotype, I was bored and unengaged.
