"It was the biggest competition night of my life, but all I could think about was the cheetah bra. I'd found it a few hours earlier, tucked into a pile of folded laundry on the end of my bed. It was just there, two perfect C-cups trimmed in black, nestled between my jeans witht eh butterfly on the pocket and the faded Buffalo Sabres hoodie I'd swiped from Dad. Mom was in her bedroom ironing, decked out in her yellow robe and those hard-bottomed slippers that are supposed to be good for your back. I dangled the bra off my finger, because Mom + cheetah = eww, and dropped it on her dresser." -Bittersweet by Sarah Ockler.
Well, that doesn't sound too good! And it's a pretty sore point pretty much throughout the book. But this is a great book, must read more! Happy reading!!
