Description: My body suuuucks. After lounging around on my butt all summer (okay, so maybe that was my bad), this body decided to become something completely foreign. So now I’m trying to make the track team and I feel like I’m a baby learning to walk again. 

A couple pounds wouldn’t have been so bad. Work those off, run like a mad woman, no problem, yeah? But no. I’ve also developed a couple of things that I definitely didn’t have before. And now my guy friends are all sitting in a pool of drool as they not-so-subtly stare at my chest. 

Combine all that drama with the fact that the new track coach is getting major flack for being a little chunky, and all I’m trying to do is convince the team that I’m not running slower because of her coaching style. 

Oh, and did I mention that I’m totally falling face-first in “like” with some guy I met in a cemetery? And no one understands it just because he’s also a little chunky. But he’s also adorable and wonderfully weird and I don’t care what they say, his look sure does it for me. 

But… I don’t know… how can I be in “like” with someone, when I have no clue how to like myself anymore?


Cassie Mae is one of my all time favorite Authors. She writes the best romance. And this book was no different. Ginger Silverman is the MC of our book and I love her! She is coming into her life and her body has changed and grown over the summer. She suddenly has Sharpies and she doesn't know how to handle them. (Read this book you must understand the Sharpies!)
As a runner they don't exactly go with her body type. As a girl with my own set of Sharpies I understand her pain.
Everyday she visits the grave of her baby sister and in the graveyard is where she meet the amazing adorbz Oliver!  I love this boy! Seriously I have never wanted a post it note so bad in my entire life. (I'm telling you READ this book!)
She falls first for his handwriting because they past Post its. "Just picturing his handwriting has my internal zookeepers sticking their hands out to keep the animals at bay." I loved this line because I know what its  like to fall for someones handwriting.  Believe me its possible!
As Ginger goes she ends up getting fully embarrassed thanks to viral bullying she has to figure out how to deal with it. And she doesn't confide in anyone and this made me want to hug her. I loved when her Aunt helped her out with this.

"Oliver says he likes me more and more every time he sees me. But how? When every time I get a look at myself, I like me less an less?" This line hit me close to home. I loved that Ginger has all of my insecurities. I related to her on so many levels. This line reminds me of my own relationship with my guy so it made me go awwww.

All in all this book had me laughing and crying. Gingers love for Disney songs made me smile because this is a very special skill set.. One I'm proud of having! Cassie knows how to take all of your feelings on an adventure and I love her for that. She makes guys you fall in love with.. And girls you can relate too. Shes real in her work and her heart shows through.

This book is one that I think every woman out there needs to read. Because we could all learn to love ourselves a little bit more.
