Book Summary
Charlie moves to a new town and enters middle school determined to reinvent herself as cooler and more confident than she felt before. She quickly bonds with a group of girls over their shared love of natural hair care, but keeping up her fabricated persona threatens her new friendships until she learns the value of honesty and authenticity.
