The hip and heartwarming story of what it means to be a girl and what it takes to become a woman. When Lilly's best friend, Maya, gets engaged, the tenuous peace treaty Lilly thought she had finally established with her perennially single self turns out to be as long-lasting as banana clips and dolphin shorts. Wavering wildly between ecstasy and envy, Lilly vows to get her life together. Traveling the byways of her own past, Lilly learns to be optimistic about her future and to relish her newfound chicdom. In a voice that grows stronger, louder, and more articulate than she ever imagined, Lilly comes to embrace her on-the-verge-of-womanhood status in all its uncertain yet exciting glory. Depicting the comic adventures of being a grown-up still coming of age, Rebecca Bloom's Girl Anatomy offers evocative and enthusiastic revelations about friendship and true love.
