How to be Brave by E Katherine Kottaras

How to be Brave

by E Katherine Kottaras

"Georgia has always lived life on the sidelines: uncomfortable with her weight, awkward, never been kissed, terrified of failing. Then her mom dies and her world is turned upside down. But instead of getting lost in her pain, she decides to enjoy life while she still can by truly living for the first time. She makes a list of ways to be brave--all the things she's always wanted to do but has been too afraid to try: learn to draw, try out for cheerleading, cut class, ask him out, kiss him, see what happens from there"--Dust jacket flap.

I thought that I'd connect with the main character in this book because of the similarities between the way that our mothers died but for a huge chunk of this book, I just couldn't drum up enough enthusiasm to really get through the book. I kept putting the book down to do other things and then finally, I just had to move on. So yep, I DNF'd this one. Bummer.
