Summary (from Goodreads) Title : Pretty Amy Author : Lisa Burstein Publication Date : May 8th 2012 Publisher : Entangled Publishing Goodreads - The Book Depository Amy is fine living in the shadows of beautiful Lila and uber-cool Cassie, because at least she’s somewhat beautiful and uber-cool by association.

Bringing readers along on an often hilarious and heartwarming journey, Amy finds ...
