About This Book
Reach for this book when your teen is navigating the emotional toll of a chronic illness diagnosis or struggling with body image and self-worth. It provides a comforting yet realistic space for readers who feel defined by their health or their size. The story follows Whitney, a perfectionist with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), as she forced to work with her former crush to plan a school dance. It explores the intersections of health, Latine identity, and social class with humor and deep empathy. While it features a sweet romance, the core value lies in its celebration of self-advocacy and self-love. It is an ideal pick for older teens looking for a cozy, seasonal read that does not shy away from the complexities of living in a body that feels like it is failing you.
