Perfect by Natasha Friend

This book is about a 13-year-old named Isabelle Lee whose family is still trying to cope with her father's death. She has trouble coping with it, so she became self-conscious about herself, bulimic, and has trouble getting along with her mother and sister. After her 10-year-sister, April a.k.a. Ape Face, sees her trying to throw up, Isabelle is forced to go to "Eating Disorder and Body Image therapy Group", due to a deal her mother made with her. On her first day at the Group, something - or someone - stuns her; Ashley Barnum, the most popular girl in her school, was in the Group as well. The two became friends and slowly begin to learn about each other. While befriending Ashley, Isabelle learns stuff about Ashley that doesn't seem to be as "perfect" as the Ashley everyone else sees at achool. Isabelle eventually learns to cope with her father's death, along with gaining self-esteem and learning that you can't judge people by just looking at them. This book is for people, most likely girls, who are having self-esteem issues and this book explains what "perfect" girls are really like. **** Stars
