Thank you so much @DuttonBooks, @PenguinTeen & @BookishFirst for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review (Release Date | 23 June 2020)

SYNOPSIS | Greer Walsh is a fifteen year old girl who hides herself in men's XXL t-shirts as she doesn't want to draw attention to her size 30H breasts, however she unexpectedly finds a community in the schools volleyball squad.

WHAT I LIKED:
- as someone who has larger than average boobs I completely related to Greer as a character & her struggle to find a cute bra that she felt confident in & just clothing in general that didn't give you a uniboob as well as the constant harassment that comes from teenage boys thinking they are being funny
- Greer's emotional journey of accepting her body
- Greer's inner sarcastic dialogue was just fantastic

WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE:
- Greer's breasts are treated as abnormally large, however her actual bra size (30H) does not actually support that
- that she consistently referred to her breasts by Maude & Mavis
- "i'm not like other girls" trope
