Lauren, a Korean American adoptee, is best friends with the prettiest girl in school. Julie has an endless amount of confidence. Lauren doesn't. It's not that she wants to look like everyone else in her suburban Connecticut school—she'd just be happy if Sean, the cutest boy in her class, noticed her. And she could do without the names, too. Like "Slant." When Sean slips one day and calls her by the taunt, she knows she has to take matters into her own hands. Using her life savings, Lauren decides to undergo a special eye surgery that will deepen the crease of her eyelid so she just blends in. After she convinces her father to agree, Lauren learns a secret about her dead mother and finds herself faced with a dilemma: should she get the operation that might make her more confident and well-liked, or can she find that confidence within? Sensitive and beautifully written, Laura E. Williams's novel offers a powerful lesson to young readers whose self-esteem depends too much on how they look.
