Allie Johnston's secret wish since the day she was twelve is
to have her nose done. But she hasn't told anyone--not her
parents, or even her best friend, Jen. But when she starts
visiting a plastic surgery discussion board on the Web, she
finds people who get her, for the first time in her life.
Her new friends, including two girls her age with vastly
different backgrounds who share her obsession with changing
their faces--but for very different reasons. A sharply written, insightful book about learning to be
happy with who we are.

Re: A Different Me
When I was growing up, I was raised to never have a high
opinion of myself. I suppose it was my Mothers' way of
protecting me from the opposite sex, which in a way was
cruel, but it was a help as well as a hinderance. When I
was old enough to catch on to her trick, however, all hell
broke loose!! lol I didn't go crazy with boys, but having
a better opinion of myself, no matter how I looked, made all
the difference in the way I carried myself!!

I have a question for those who have read the book.
1-how does the author develop and contrast the points of view of different
characters in the story?
2-determine characterize as described through a characters words, speech
patterns, and actions of other characters.
