North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley

Who would like this book? Girls 13 and up.
Why? This book I think every girl should read. This book reminds girls that outer beauty doesn’t matter but true inner beauty does, which I think we sometimes forget. The main character, Terra, forgot that too, but when she met Jacob everything changed. She then realized that her port wine stain doesn’t matter, it doesn’t define who she is, doesn’t make her less beautiful than anyone else. I am someone who wears makeup almost everyday, but when I finished this book I honestly didn’t wear makeup the next day and I probably won’t wear it all that much anymore because when I read this book, I remembered too, outer beauty doesn’t matter.
