I was asked to review this book by Inspired by Kathy

This is a really thought provoking subject for a teenager (although statistics show the other spectrum of the coin where there is an increasing amount of teenagers suffering from obesity also- eating is a really problem)

This is a YA novel, the subject is dark but the author is mindful to be sensitive and it is funny also. The author writes well and brings her characters to life.

The story begins with sadness, her mother being ashamed of her, disgust at being overweight - lots of baggage suffice to say.

The story personally could have focused more on the main character's eating disorder and perhaps looked at research and statistics to pull the story together more. This is light hearted with romance thrown into the mix also.

A thought provoking read and a story that remains with you.
