Description
After breaking her nose apprehending a shoplifter, nature blogger Astrid Dibello finds her world turned upside down when plastic surgery fixes the break but makes her look nearly identical to her older sister, Claire. Claire has always been the pretty one, while Astrid is the "smart" sister with the infamous Dibello nose. But who is the woman in the mirror now? Not even Astrid's family seem sure. When Astrid's girlfriend accuses her of joining the "plastic culture" and dumps her, Astrid escapes to the solitude of the woods where she runs into former high school enigma, Simone. In the quiet beauty of nature, Astrid and Simone connect and their easy friendship turns to a tender romance. But when high school love letters Simone wrote to Claire resurface, Astrid wonders if Simone loves Astrid for who she is, or just because she now looks like her older sister? If Astrid wants the truth, she'll need to closely examine who she is--both inside and out. Astrid Inside/Out tells the story of a woman's journey to find her true self on the way to her happily ever after.

Reviews
From page one, I felt at home in this story. McBain does a nice job creating its world and populating it with relatable characters. Astrid couldn't feel more familiar, and the confusion she experiences over the sudden change in her appearance is the perfect jumping off point to address personal insecurities and society's obsession with outward appearances. Astrid and Simone fit so well together. Their romance develops in an easy fashion. It's joyful and relatively angst free. Everything about this romance fits and highlighting caring for the environment is a bonus.--The Lesbian Review
