The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli
4.0
This book really spoke to me.
I've been overweight for a majority of my life. In high school, my self confidence was so low that I literally could not believe any one would want to be around me, including friends. All because I was fat. The idea of a boyfriend or girlfriend was foreign to me--I just COULD NOT imagine ugly, fat me with a significant other. Now, I'm 21, and comfortable enough in my skin to feel beautiful regardless of my extra pounds.
I related to Molly. Every thought she had I found myself remembering when I used to have those exact same thoughts. In addition, as a pansexual woman with several LGBT friends, I really appreciated the plethora of diverse characters within this novel. ESPECIALLY the CANON PANSEXUAL CHARACTER!!!! BLESS!!!!! The only reason I took a star off was because sometimes I found the fluency of conversation a little forced. Overally, thumbs up!
