What the book needed, for me, was a little more umph. Another issue teens must deal with - what will I be willing to give up in order to make my friend happy? Will they still be my friend if I don't? Important stuff. She is miserable and soon enough, the entire facade falls apart. Who wouldn't help your best friend get the guy they love? Unfortunately for Sarah, it comes at a high price. Kristen basically abuses Sarah's friendship when she asks Sarah to pose as her online and snag Rock for a boyfriend. I love the relationship Sarah and Kristen had in the beginning of the story. The scene was almost like a reset-button - yes, she has a big nose.can we move on now? I'm sure the two have many scenarios similar to that one up their sleeve. She's gonna blow!" *insert laughter* On a basic level, the scene demonstrates that it's okay to laugh at yourself, and in this situation, it took away the power of the teasing crowd.
I love the heart of this story, and how the two girls deal with the gawking and finger pointing due to Sarah's oversized nose- "Everyone take cover. The only problem is, her BFF Kristen falls head over heels for Rock, and with the help of Sarah's insight and master writing skills, it looks like Rock might fall for Kristen too.
When a hunky boy with a hunky name, Rock, moves to town, she starts to think that if the honker was gone, she might have a chance with him. Sarah's mother urges her to undergo the knife and get that sucker fixed, but Sarah is set in her ways. But the stares and snickers get to her from time to time. Sarah has a big nose, like uber big, and she will tell you she is who she is and is happy that way (nose and all). This hip retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac is filled with hilariously misguided matchmaking, sweet romance, and a gentle reminder that we should all embrace our flaws. For someone so smart, what was she thinking? So when Kristen begs Sarah to help her nab Rock, Sarah does the only thing a best friend can do-she agrees. And when Rock and Kristen stand together, it's like Barbie and Ken come to life. Problem is, her best friend, Kristen, falls for him too. On the first day of senior year, Rock Conway walks into her journalism class and, well, rocks her world.
Sarah's got the best best friend and big goals for print journalism fame. There's just one tiny-all right, enormous-flaw: her nose. She's got killer blue eyes, gorgeous blond hair, and impeccable grades.
