Ann Galardi is 16—and a size 16. She’s always struggled with her weight, and her perfect size 6 mother. This summer, it’s worse: Aunt Jackie’s getting married in August, and Ann’s her bridesmaid. She decides she’s losing 45 pounds in two months—or else. Thus begins a rollicking odyssey that features an infomercial diet plan, unfortunate dance lessons, a series of mortifying encounters with an adorable guy, and some revelations about Ann’s not-so perfect mother

A powerful and poignant novel about hope and love in the midst of common and controversial issues about weight gain, weight loss, and the ability to persevere.
