Jack is a normal 17 year old boy. He likes girls and he likes girls’ breasts. But when his best friend, Leah, tells him she is getting a “boob job” for her 16th birthday, he takes a stand.

While I liked the main message this book portrays about body image, I had a hard time getting past the breast fetish Jack, the main character, has. The very first page of the novel begins with Jack listing off forty different words for “breasts.” He further states that he knows 138 words for that particular anatomy, and then explains how many times he has seen them in the nude, and how much he focuses on them each day. Now, I do understand why Harvey included the terminology in her novel, but

Jack is a confessed boob connoisseur. According to an opening statement, he has seen exactly four real naked human breasts and knows 138 words for them. With a start like that, one might think this book is inappropriate or at least in very poor taste. That could not be more wrong.

Super quick read. Jack's best friend is Leah, and Leah's mom is obssesed with cosmetic surgery. One day, Leah comes in and tells Jack that her mom is giving her breast implants for her 16th birthday, and Jack flips out. It's a humorous story, partly because Jack is obssessed with breasts (what? a teenager boy? no way) and talks about them a lot. Even so, he ends up protesting about teens and cosmetic surgery, which causes a lot of problems for his friendship with Leah.

This book is for teenagers who aren't into reading as much as the average person. It has big font and is only 120 pages long but it was pretty funny.

Meh. A thin diatribe against cosmetic surgery of the teenage crowd, thinly disguised as fiction.
