A very quick read. I could somewhat relate to the main character because I was always trying to hide my chest when I was a teenager (mine weren't quite that large though). I can remember wearing baggy t-shirts (thank GOD they were the style in the 90s), walking hunched over (I specifically remember my mom saying, "If you hunch over, it just makes them look even bigger" - even though she didn't know that's why I walked like that and I don't think I even knew), and wearing bras that don't fit (even as an adult, this is mortifying, and at 36, I finally learned what my real bra size is - ladies, do it!).

I thought some parts were maybe a bit unrealistic, but it's a great story about body positivity. I did get a little confused when the story jumped back and forth to memories. The end felt a little rushed. The author could have shortened some of those memories and spent more time on the ending.
