**Can she be herself in a one-size-fits-all world?
**
Lori Palmer is the new girl at Bay Water High, where students prize
glossy hair, "beach" bodies, and thigh gaps above all else, which is so
not her. She misses her old school, where her artistic talent was more
important to her peers than a chia smoothie recipe ever was.
Uncomfortable in her own size-sixteen skin, Lori decides to survive
senior year as best she can by blending into the background while she
melts in the summer heat. But her plans go completely awry when she
discovers popular jock Jake volunteering at her brother Zac's school.
When her brother befriends Jake's sister, Lori is suddenly thrust into
Jake's unfamiliar world of water polo, parties, and stargazing.
As she grows closer to Jake, and her relationship with her mother starts
to deteriorate, Lori's old anxieties resurface and she throws herself
into her art. It's a wildly new direction for Lori, and through it she
realizes that finding her voice might get her into a world of trouble,
but standing up for what she believes in is as important as standing up
for herself.
