Some Books Ago: North of Beautiful by Justina Chen

Some Books Ago is a shout out to all those books published some years ago. I don't want you to forget them!

This week, I want you to remember NORTH OF BEAUTIFUL by Justina Chen. 
I discovered this book when I realized the picture from the cover is the same as the one in Evermore by Alyson Noel. I didn't know anything about the book, but all the reviews I've read are great. I still haven't read it, but I hope I can. It sounds so good.
Check it out! 

It was published on February 1st 2009 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers

Summary:

It's hard not to notice Terra Cooper.

She's tall, blond, and has an enviable body. But with one turn of her cheek, all people notice is her unmistakably "flawed" face. Terra secretly plans to leave her stifling small town in the Northwest and escape to an East Coast college, but gets pushed off-course by her controlling father. When an unexpected collision puts Terra directly in Jacob's path, the handsome but quirky Goth boy immediately challenges her assumptions about herself and her life, and she is forced in yet another direction. With her carefully laid plans disrupted, will Terra be able to find her true path?

Written in lively, artful prose, award-winning author Justina Chen Headley has woven together a powerful novel about a fractured family, falling in love, travel, and the meaning of true beauty.
