Ellie is not a skinny-mini. The swimming pool is the place where she can feel comfortable in her body. She also likes to sing and dance with her friend, Viv. But now, Viv is moving out of state, so Ellie will have to go to school, where she knows that she is going to be fat-shamed. Even her family is not supportive of her.
Although told by verse, the story moves along very nicely. Questions that hopefully will be answered: How does the title Starfish help Ellie to develop more confidence ?
Will Catalina become a new friend?
Will Ellie ever be able to respond to Marissa or Kortnee and get them to stop torturing her?
What will happen during Ellie's sessions with her shrink, Dr. Wood? When will Ellie forgive her father for having her see a therapist?
How likely is Diana at the boutique for plus-size girls help Ellie accept her body with its curves and bulges? Will Ellie be able to use her Fat Girl Rules to help a younger version of herself?
Lastly, will the ending be realistic or will end happily ever after?
