This is funny and often so blunt it's almost crude (compliment – I love crude).

As Greer lays bare her experiences as a big-breasted girl, she shows a deprecating humour that make her thoughts fun to read. I recognize so many of Greer's gestures and self-consciousness from my own experiences sprouting boobs of a non-remarkable size – the shoulder tuck, the baggy shirt, the sudden awareness of the eyes around me. I think there are elements in this that any teenager with breasts (or other visible changes) can connect to.

The presumable love interest, Jackson, is funny and charming. Early on, he wins in my book, as he gives a smart consent check when Greer's mother offers out her daughter's phone number. I'm really hoping he lives up to my read that he's a good, conscientious guy.

I'm excited to read more of this. It's not often that we get to read body humor from the girls in contemporary YA – and I'm doubly excited for her math geekery.

I'm hoping that this grows into a story exploring feminism, identity, and reclaiming power and self ownership!
