Amazon.com description: Product Description: "The heroineâs transformation into someone who finds her own style and speaks her own mind is believable â and worthy of applause." â PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fifteen-year-old Virginia Shreves has a larger-than-average body and a plus-size inferiority complex, especially when she compares herself to her slim, brilliant, picture-perfect family. But thatâs before a shocking phone call â and a horrifying allegation â about her rugby-star brother changes everything. With irreverent humor and surprising gravity, Carolyn Mackler creates an endearingly blunt heroine who speaks to every teen who struggles with family expectations, and proves that the most impressive achievement is to be true to yourself.
