Rainbowheart | 28620 comments I'm looking for books where characters are struggling with body image issues related to something other than their weight.

It could be a big nose, a birthmark, a physical disability, height, skin color, discomfort with puberty, etc. Anything is fine as long as the character is struggling with significant insecurity and self-consciousness due to this characteristic.

A few titles along these lines....

The Fold
The Skin I'm In
North of Beautiful
My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters

Thanks mucho!

Gillian | 342 comments I'll Be Seeing You by Lurlene McDaniel. The main character is missing some of her facial bones due to an illness.
