Butterface is a cute and touching story about Beth, a teenage girl with a facial deformity. Beth is used to hiding herself from the world. She has resigned herself to being one of the girls that will never be noticed for her beauty. While dealing with her self-esteem issues, she has a weird relationship with Lucky. They banter back and forth, with her making fun of him being a soccer god and his good looks. Lucky takes the jibes in stride and fusses over the fact that Beth works too much. Their relationship starts off as a friendship but develops into something more. Lucky breaks through the wall that Beth hides behind, finally sees her as more than a friend all thanks to a pink tank top.Butterface is a nice, quick read with fully developed characters and plot. Even though I thought that Lucky was a little too good to be true I appreciated the message in the story-telling.
