I thought this book was absolutely adorable. I knew from the description I would like it, because I too have been the chubby girl/kid. I spent my teen years battling weight and being made fun of for it. So I totally get it!
That being said, I absolutely loved the main character. I thought the author wrote her very well, and made her seem as real as possible. Right away, my heart went out to her as if she were a real person sitting next to me. I wanted to hug her, and tell her that she is so much more than the weight.
While reading this book, I forgot that it was based on being geared towards teens. It was THAT entrancing. In fact, because I finally remembered, it made my list grow of who I want to make sure I buy copies for so they can read. I feel like every teen girl (and adult for that matter!) should sit down and read it. Whether you have a daughter who could relate, or you personally could relate, or heck even give you some insight to any other girls in your life who have weight issues, this book would offer a different outlook on how they could be feeling and handling their weight.
I absolutely adored this book. The characters, the writing, the story...everything!!
