Apparently this is the third novel, I hope his other two were better. Ellen is considered "mean" by her friends (aka honest, I guess) and I really didn't see any of that in the tone of this book. The story also seemed very disjointed and jumped around. I think there was too much story in this book. I almost stopped reading it, but decided to finish.
Ellen is Jewish and is getting ready for her Bat Mitzvah. She has a best friend, Sophie and Davis , along with Charlie (who she plays Call of Duty with online). Her mom is a heart doctor and her dad is a doctor as well. Her mom seems to never be home as she is out "saving the world" and her dad is also out late. Her younger sister Hannah is deaf and they are looking to get cochlear implants for her. She also has a "nemesis", Allegra, who starts going to Hebrew school with her to get ready for her own Bat Mitzvah. The story pretty much tells us about Ellen and her struggles with her body development, her parents lack of attention, and her crush, Noah. It also delves into Charlie and Davis' relationship.
