So many of the books that I read have been recommended to me by friends, or other bloggers, or I've seen reviews of the books on other blogs, or on Goodreads. But this one I saw on the library's recently ordered page, and I loved the title, so I put it on hold immediately.It's definitely a younger YA title, since the characters are in Grade 7. Kacey Simon is the most popular girl in her middle school, until an eye infection results in her getting glasses and a chipped molar results in her dentist deciding that she should get braces. Suddenly, all of her friends ditch her and she ends up hanging out with some kids that she previously would have scoffed at. Along the way, she learns that she wasn't a very nice person and her "honesty" towards other people was actually pretty mean.As a former braces-wearing, glasses-sporting teen, I enjoyed most of the aspects of this book. It was a cute, fun read with a good story, and excellent morals. Kacey is spunky and loveable, and there's a really cute love story that accompanies the main plot. For a quick, feel-good read, I'd recommend this one for sure! Review also posted at: http://writergrrlreads.blogspot.ca/2012/06/how-to-rock-braces-glasses-meg-haston.html
