“People can't help the way they look, just the way they act.”
This was cute. Carly is in the hospital after breaking her leg but it's not her first visit - when she was younger, they found her headaches were from a tumor and had to operate. The operation left her changed - her face not the same it was before.
Carly faces the world with humor. It's a little dark and sometimes she over does it, but at least she is facing the world. I think Carly's frustrations with people not being nice and being shallow is still accurate today.
I liked Reba and thought she was a great addition to the story. I also liked Janelle, her sister. Kyle was almost too good to be true but I know he's possible.
The tape player and lack of cell phone or show more computer/laptop was the only thing to really make this story feel dated. It was cute and I enjoyed it for the quick read it was. show less
