The friendship found in this book is one that will last a lifetime. Annie feels that she is not pretty enough and therefore would give anything to become Leslie, her idol at school. Through the phases of a mis-adventure, along with the help of her two meddling grandmothers, Annie soon realizes that she is pretty enough and always has been. Sometimes it takes a girl's own trials, tribulations, and thoughts to put life in perspective, instead of everyone else telling her how she 'should' feel.
