This book should be required reading for all teenage girls and their mothers. Actually, it should be required reading for all mothers of girls, no matter what the age.
Ann is always on a diet. She’s 16 years old and wears a size 17. This book describes her journey through yet another fad diet and is another book where I cried several times while I was reading. I related to Ann so much, not as a teenager, but as an adult who struggles with my weight. I was lucky as a teenager to be naturally trim without being on a diet or exercising. I saw a lot of myself in both Ann and her mom.
One of the best parts of this story is the friendship that Ann began with Raynee. Every girl should have a friend like Raynee. I want one. Raynee helps Ann become a better person and see things with a new perspective. She really opens Ann’s eyes to certain things in her life.
I would recommend this book to every girl and to anyone who enjoys a book about relationships, cliques, and parent/teenager conflict.
