My Eyes Are Up Here

A razor-sharp coming-of-age novel about a girl struggling to rediscover her sense of self in the year after her body decided to change all the rules.

“Charming, relatable and laugh-out-loud hilarious.”—Erin Hahn, author of You’d Be Mine and More Than Maybe

“A smart and honest book about body positivity.”—Deb Caletti, National Book Award finalist and Michael L. Printz Honor medalist

If Greer Walsh could only live inside her head, life would be easier. She’d be able to focus on excelling at math or negotiating peace talks between her best friend and . . . everyone else. She wouldn’t spend any time at all worrying about being the only Kennedy High student whose breasts are bigger than her head.

But you can’t play volleyball inside your head. Or go to the pool. Or have confusingly date-like encounters with the charming new boy. You need an actual body for all of those things. And Greer is entirely uncomfortable in hers.

Heartbreakingly honest, My Eyes Are Up Here is a story of awkwardness and ferocity, of imaginary butterflies and rock-solid friends. It’s the story of a girl finding her way out of her oversized sweatshirt and back into the real world.
