The last thing sixteen-year-old Maisie Martin thought she’d be doing over vacation is entering a beauty pageant. Not when she’s spent most of her life hiding her body from everyone. Not when her Dad is AWOL and her gorgeous older sister has returned to rock Maisie’s already shaky self-esteem. And especially not when her best friend starts flirting with the boy she’s always loved. But Maisie’s got something to prove. As she writes down in her journal all the ways her vacation goes from bad to worse, what started as a homework torture-device might just end up being an account of how Maisie didn’t let anything, or anyone, hold her back.
