I received a gift copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. WOW this book is amazing I don’t even know where to begin! In the world we live in today it is hard to find our own self-worth since we are all constantly being judged in one form or another. It is hard to find the beauty within yourself when the media is constantly plastered with what the “perfect” image is and it is doubly hard when you grow up being constantly told by the people who are supposed to love you the most that you are worthless, ugly and pretty much a waste of space. This book brings all of that to light and does so in such an amazing way. Mercedes has grown up to feel like she is simply not good enough; her father left at an early age and her mother hated her. She has a select group of friends who are all “beautiful people” in the eyes of todays society. She finds herself wondering what is wrong with her and why she can’t be accepted for who she is. Mercedes goes thru a lot of changes and soon begins to realize that the only way to be happy is to be happy with what God gave you and who you are. The fundamental things that make you “you” are really all that matter. This is a beautifully written story that anyone who has suffered from feelings of worthlessness or knows someone who does should definitely read.
