Wow. Have you ever finished a book and thought 'wow that was a really great book!' ? The author makes this book real and easy for any girl, no matter what shape or size, to relate to. I'm not overweight, but believe me, there are things I'd like to change about myself, and I was honestly inspired by Rosemary's story and also Kay-Kay. For any girl going through self-esteem issues, I would highly suggest reading this book. It has to be one of my favorite non-series books. I felt bad for Rosemary with her weight and other struggles but she pulled through it all which made it worthwhile, enjoyable, and heartwarming. I don't think you'll be disappointed, atleast, I hope not! =]
