Not Pretty Enough was an entertaining and sweet novel I think most of us can relate to. It's clean and appropriate for young teens, focusing on embarrassing moments as the main character tries her hardest to get the boy she likes to notice her.Chessie was a hilarious character. She was self conscious, but didn't realize just how brave she was by trying new and imaginative ways to get her crush to see her and note her existence. Except her crazy antics get her noticed in ways she would rather not be. She succeeded in embarrassing herself numerous times! I think most readers will be able to relate to some her embarrassing moments and be thoroughly entertained.Not Pretty Enough was a quick read, but it was full of comedy and important lessons in the end. I highly recommend it, especially for young teens who are looking for an entertaining and funny book. Parents will love Not Pretty Enough because it's hilarious, but also full of healthy and necessary lessons about learning to be yourself and self worth. The tone and style reminded me a lot of Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison.
