Judging from
the title, you know that the theme is all about boobs. That’s how it starts
off.
Tori has
always felt self-conscious about her body. She’s thin, but thin is not
attractive because everything on her is thin—thin frame, thin butt, thin chest.
At 18, she’s never gone past first base with a guy. Bottom line: she feels ugly
and hates it. Right away the reader will empathize and hate the way she gets
treated sometimes.
Then she
gets a crush on Grant, one of her brother’s friends. They spend an amazing week
together, then, for no reason, he leaves. Wanting to be in control and tired of
being used, Tori turns to the true power of “fake boobs.” She gets hooked on
the power so much that eventually she makes the fake boobs real.
Story
centers on a young and naïve girl looking to please everyone but herself. I
thought she was way too eager to get things “over with.” She was trying to grow
up too fast, trying too hard to be something she’s not, which doesn’t make her
a character to admire.
Book is
divided in two parts. The first part is in Tori’s POV and the second is in
Grant’s POV. The reader gets the love story from both parties.
Endearing
and relatable, story is a journey of self-reflection, self-discovery, and
self-acceptance. And, of course, there’s a love story in there, too.
My rating: 3.5 stars
