What Parents Need to Know
About Fix
Parents need to know that this book deals with teen plastic surgery, including one character's breast augmentation. Some procedures -- and side effects -- are detailed. The author brings up lots of issues about beauty, body image, and surgery but leaves it up to her readers to come to their own conclusions, just as her characters do.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the two sisters in the book. They're both born with the same nose, but Allie is happy with who she is, and Cameron feels better after she's made changes. Who do you relate to more? Parents also can use this book as a way to talk about beauty standards and body image. Here's a roundup of Common Sense resources that can help.
