MY EYES ARE UP HERE by Laura Zimmermann tops my list for best book of the summer. Great main character, laugh-out-loud humor, and a message worth sharing can all be found in this new YA release.
Greer Walsh is smart and focused on her school work. In AP classes where she is known as willing to help out her fellow students, she is also the target of many jokes. When you are the only one in the school with boobs bigger than your head, there's a certain amount of attention directed your way.
Greer hides her size H breasts under baggy hoodies and avoids stores like Victoria Secret. She's not even sure her mother knows her current bra size. It's best to just keep her head down and her grades up.
When Greer's mother asks her to help welcome a new family to town, she is pleasantly surprised to be introduced to the very attractive and friendly Jackson. Now Greer spends every waking moment thinking about him, and he even lurks in her dreams at night. They strike up a casual friendship that involves meeting up in the hall every day and starts to turn into more. Greer is hoping he likes her as much as she likes him, but what will he think if he learns the truth about what's hidden under her sweatshirt.
Greer finds she has a talent for volleyball and is chosen for the team. A new friend, Jessa, encourages Greer to step out of her comfort zone and things begin to change.
MY EYES ARE UP HERE is author Laura Zimmermann's first novel. I can't wait to see what she offers up next!
