Unexpected Development by Marlene Perez

Product Description

“I’m not sure you really want to get into what I did this summer, Mrs. Westland. Sex. Sex is how I spent my summer vacation.”Megan knows twenty different words for “breasts,” and can recite them alphabetically-but she can’t remember the last time a guy looked her in the eye first, not the chestSize matters, as Megan found out in the 5 th grade, when she developed the largest breasts in the class. Now she’s 17 and wearing her twin brothers’ baggy sweatshirts can’t hide the fact-two facts, really. When her summer job at Pancake Palace puts her in close touch with Jake , who smells like “temptation and Ivory soap,” Megan wonders if he can like her for herself, not just her body. Can lusty, busty Megan learn to trust Jake -and herself? Megan tells about her summer of sex in somewhat poignant and very funny journal entries to her favorite teacher.

Sigh, I wish all authors could write like this. Direct and full of humor, this cute story is perfect for teens that hate their body. Megan is such a believable character from a different point of view than normal young adult themes about how you have to deal with what you have.
