Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Girl growing up with an hemangioma, strawberry mark, on her eye thinks her life would be great if only she was beautiful. Plus she has a father whose attention seeking behavior seems to border on bipolar disorder. It reads like a memoir, very linear, which flattened it out some. Very funny in spots. Though marketed towards teens, to me it had more of an adult feel, as though written by an adult looking back. no reviews | add a review
Nina Goldman, growing up in Akron, Ohio, in the 1970s, struggles to overcome the feelings of inferiority caused by the birth mark that covers one of her eyes but she is helped along by her loving mom and larger-than-life father, and when a treatment is found that could remove the mark, Nina is conflicted about whether to go forward.

At times the story would seem to drag a bit but it was to help build the story line. Nina felt that if she could be without the birth mark then her life would be perfect. She tried salt water treatments, injections and laser treatments. She wanted to be part of the in crowd but only seemed to be able to hang onto the edge.
I haven’t looked to see if Ms. Rosen has written any more books but if she has I would give them a try.
