Greer Walsh struggles with her body image like most teens, but her self-consciousness is all centered on her out of proportion chest. She hides in way too large hoodies and slouches as much and as often as she can. When she joins the volleyball team, Greer starts to learn that her perceived worst asset isn't as awful as she imagined it to be.

As someone who started puberty way early and eventually had a breast reduction, I could completely relate to Greer and her struggles. Greer was an enjoyable character, but I really enjoyed her friendships and relationships with her volleyball teammates.

My biggest complaint is that Greer often felt very one-dimensional and we didn't get to know her too well aside from her body image issues, so while I enjoyed her, she didn't feel completely fleshed out. Otherwise, I would highly recommend this book to middle and high school readers.
