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.

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.
