Not Pretty Enough has to be one of the most humorous stories I've read in awhile.  Chessie is a wonderful character that has lost her way in life - as in she's about as far off the path as she can get.  She is dying her hair crazy colors, walking into lamp posts and generally making a fool of herself for one very special boy by the name of Lloyd Layton.  She's sure they were meant to be, a match made in heaven - he just doesn't realize it yet.Chessie's blunders, both big and small, are all life lessons, but they don't always feel like it.  The author isn't hitting you over the head with her point over and over, which is a very good thing.  Sometimes Chessie's antics got a little over the top and unbelievable, but that just made her an even more lovable character.  You never stop rooting for her, even when you see her heading into trouble, and I love that you can see her best friend, Debs, has the same attitude.The ending was a little predictable, but very fitting for the story.  It really opened Chessie's eyes to the ways of the world without causing too much hurt at the same time.  This is an excellent book for any young adult.- See more at: [...]
