Dawn has been writing back and forth with Logan's cousin Lewis. The two of them have become close. So, it's no surprise when Lewis decides to pay a visit to Dawn, Mary Anne, and Logan. The girls are excited for his arrival. But as Lewis' visit comes closer and closer, Dawn begins to doubt her self-image. Is her hair too long? Does she not wear enough makeup? Questions like these begin to circle around Dawn's mind. Soon Dawn decides to do a complete makeover. That means new hairstyle, new clothes, more makeup. But will Lewis and the other BSC girls like the new Dawn? I thought this book was SUPER relatable. The reader feels a special connection to Dawn. It was, at least for me, comforting. As a girl who has struggled with confidence, I was able to take advice and tips from Dawn. But it was also nice to see that I was not alone. It was encouraging to see that I was not a strange case. Dawn in this story displays admirable character but I have to say, Mary Anne was probably the most admirable. Mary Anne is supportive, kind, and understanding. She doesn't push Dawn, but she does help her find who Dawn really is. I suggest this book if you like reading about makeovers, friendship, slight romance, and babysitting. Happy reading!
