I flew through the pages of this book. It sucked me in and i couldn't get out. It is such a beautiful book. Maya is so brave and strong and talented and knowing that she did all those things,that THIS is her life..its brilliant and genious. I LOVE IT.
I used to be that girl. The unpopular girl. (maybe still am,just dont care,or maybe i do) And this book is amazing. The courage it takes to follow through her plan,the tests she went through...were all worth it in the end. You can see her ('see' yes,because there are actual photos inside.How cool is that?) becoming this condident lady and it feels really nice. This book is so SO good!! Everyone should read,especially if you're still going through high school.
Maya is an incredible,ballsy writer and i wish we see more of her in the near future. �

Quotes Fenia Liked
“Betty's lesson is much deeper than I ever expected:I wanted popularity; I wanted other people to like me. But it turns out most people are wanting to be discovered too.”

“No popularity exists when tragedy strikes. All that's left are human hearts and love and ache. We all love each other, deep down, and when we see another soul in pain we can't help but hurt too.”

“This is the time to remember that I’m the protagonist in my own story, facing every challenge with grace and wit.”

― Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek
“Popularity is more than looks. It’s not clothes, hair, or even possessions. When we let go of these labels, we see how flimsy and relative they actually are. Real popularity is kindness and acceptance. It is about who you are, and how you treat others.”
