(2) YA Liv, thirteen, has competed in pageants all her life and has mostly enjoyed herself, but when she meets fifteen-year-old runaway Dan she begins to question the pageant world and her own identity. Liv's character slowly un-flattens, revealing personality, intelligence, sadness, depth--and unexpected backbone. Liv and Dan's relationship is first love at its most genuine in this poignant story of self-actualization.
