    Seventeen-year-old Annabel Conway is tired of the Hillcrest High School elite making her life miserable because she’s not a size two. This summer, she's hiring a personal trainer to help her lose weight. Annabel doesn’t expect her trainer to be a gorgeous guy around her age. Boys like Tegan are jerks. They pretend to like girls like her so they can make an idiot out of them. Been there, done that. Totally not going there again. She kind of hates him on principal. Blond. Muscular. Funny. It doesn’t help that he knows her measurements! Soon, Tegan's so much more than that. He’s the boy who teaches her to box when she has a bad day. Who jogs with her and lets her set the pace. Who kisses her until she melts. He makes her feel beautiful regardless of what the scale says. Unlike her mom, he doesn’t expect perfection, and he doesn't try to shield her from the world like her dad and best friend. Tegan likes her the way she is. But what happens when he’s not there? He can’t always be there… Will Annabel be able to stand on her own and learn that she already measures up? That her worth doesn’t lie in what the world thinks, the scale says, or even what Tegan tells her—but in herself?

    Gostei muito!

    O livro é fofo. A história é fofa. Os personagens são fofos. Tegan e Annabel são lindos juntos e a química entre eles é envolvente desde o começo. "Measuring Up" não tem muito drama (apesar de que eu acho que a autora queria que fosse dramático), ao contrário, é um livro para se ler rapidinho e se apaixonar não só pelo casal principal, mas também pela família do Tegan (o irmão e a mãe dele são cativantes). A mãe da Annabel é muito ruim com ela e eu fiquei meio chateada por esse conflito não ter sido resolvido no decorrer do livro. O motivo para eu ter dado 3 estrelas é que eu não achei que fosse uma história tão emocionante a ponto de me puxar e me manter lá por dias (como aconteceu com "Belo Desastre"... é sério, eu quase não saía da depressão por ter acabado). Para mim foi tudo fofo e ponto. Recomendo a leitura para quem quer ler um livro legal com final feliz para dar um tempo nos livros super intensos e emocionais sendo lançados ultimamente.

    Nyrae Dawn

    Writing has always been Nyrae Dawn’s passion. Even when she was too busy chasing kids or working, writing stories was never far from her mind. She feels a special pull to characters in their teens. There’s something so fresh and fun about the age that she adores exploring. Her husband says it’s because she doesn’t want to grow up. She doesn’t think that’s such a bad thing. Luckily for her, he doesn’t either. Nyrae gravitates toward character-driven stories. Whether reading or writing, she loves emotional journeys. It’s icing on the cake when she really feels something, but is able to laugh, too. She’s also a proud romantic at heart who has a soft spot for flawed characters. She loves people who aren’t perfect, who make mistakes but also have a big heart. Nyrae resides in sunny Southern California with her husband (who still makes her swoon) and her two awesome kids. When she’s not with her family, you can be pretty sure you’ll find her with a book in her hand or her laptop and an open document in front of her.
