Description

A humorous, poignant, true-to-life story of a girl and her blog...

"Dear Opl is a delight to read. Opl is funny, smart, grumpy, and sad at times. She's like no one you ever met before, but also, deep down, a lot like you and me. You will love her even as she shows you how to love yourself." -Francisco X. Stork, award-winning author of Marcelo in the Real World

There are three things Opl never expected to do during the eighth grade:

1) Start a vendetta against celebrity chef Alfie Adam, the "Nude Food Dude."

2) Take yoga classes with her grandpa

3) Become a famous blogger

But after a year of shrinking down her personality to compensate for the fact that her body is getting bigger, Opl thinks it's about time to start speaking up again. What she doesn't expect is that everyone actually starts to listen...
