My Eyes Are Up Here tells the story of teen girl, Greer, who assumes everyone else has it together while she struggles. As we all have that mentality to an extent, it is a theme we can all connect with. However, Greer has some added body issues that she wishes she could get rid of. Eventually she begins to see that everyone is not as put-together as they seem, and that there are cracks in everyone’s lives or families.

She makes some strides in dealing with herself and she is able to get past those self derogatory terms enough to allow her to make friends as well.

As she grows, she is able to reach out to others around her who she comes to find need some help, too.

Overall, Greer is a wonderful character who isn’t as down on herself as some teen characters. She recognizes her strength even when she downplays them, so it makes her a more believable and relatable main character.
