North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley

Terra has a port-wine birthmark on her cheek. She has taken many surgeries that failed to remove it. When she almost gets into a car accident, Terra and Jacob, a Chinese boy she almost runs over becomes her good friend. Jacob teaches her to enjoy the way she looks. As they grow closer together, there is one problem. How is she going to explain to Erik, her boyfriend. I recommend this for teens.
