Kindle Notes & Highlights
At fourteen, she wears her long hair pulled back in a ponytail, virtually lives in jeans, T-shirts and baggy sweaters, and shows zero interest in make-up. All of this makes her look, if not younger than she really is, like a girl of her actual age. It’s a relief, frankly. Her best friend Shannon has spray tans and wears terrifyingly thick false eyelashes, like fluttering canopies. She is well into boyfriend territory – livid love bites have been spotted on her neck – whereas, thankfully, Lori still seems to regard boys as mates.
This is not the only part in the story where the best friend is criticised for her looks. The worst part Lori shows Nadia photos of her best friend just to comment on her looks! No wonder Lori is so judgemental and "not like the other girls" if the adults in her life are like this.
