It's not really an issue I see much of at all these days! And glasses make some people looke hot :D (yeah Liz, I'm saying you're smexy!!). Maybe because designs or whatever have changed over the years? But eh, shame about the shallow aspects and slightly disbelieving issues... I'm glad it's still a fun read though!

Like you said, now, almost everyone has had braces/glasses at some point! I had braces years ago and then I got glasses almost immediately after my braces were removed :P. And so many people in my year had them too, it was just like...yeah. The norm. I'm glad you enjoyed it though, despite your issues with it. Thanks for the great review!Liz.

You are right abou...Great thoughtful review Sonia!<br /><br />You are right about the braces/glasses thing. When I was growing up, not alot of kids had glasses and virtually no one had braces. Now, pretty much every child in my daughter's class got braces eventually, and glasses are now a fashion accessory.TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.com
