Quite a fun book to read, and showing quite clearly from the bright pink cover as well that it is aimed at young teenage girls in particular. It's fun seeing how teens are coping with the ever changing world around them, and I like that it is written in a journal-style as it makes you feel quite engaged with the main character i.e. Lara Bloom. This also goes perfectly hand-in-hand with the use of emojis and text messages. From the blurb you can note the focus on crushes, and we discover that Lara has a crush on a boy called Caiden who she essentially wants to 'glow up' for, as she feels he may not like an awkward girl like herself. She starts having regular sessions with her friends so she can be noticed more by Caiden, and it's funny because the things she is trying to change about herself are actually what Caiden loves about her the most. It's a great learning point for the teens out there to be true to themselves and be proud of who they are
