![]() ![]() ![]() As the layers peel back, though, there is much more to this story than weight loss. ![]() This is an underdog story that had me rooting for the main character’s success. There are many cringe-worthy moments, yet thankfully, Barson includes humorous relief through Ann’s twin four-year-old siblings and her off beat grandma. In using this point of view, Barson succeeds in helping the reader understand how a person carrying extra weight might feel a constant physical and mental fatigue – from trying on clothes, to feeling judged for every bite of food she puts in her mouth. In this personal account, the main character, Ann, is sharp-witted, strong, and self-deprecating, yet is often hurt by her seemingly perfect, yet clueless mom. In this first person narrative, KA Barson delivers a sassy, upbeat, contemporary look at the life of a teenage girl who has struggled with weight for most of her young life and would like to lose 45 pounds before being a bridesmaid at her aunt’s wedding. Available for preorder wherever books are sold. ![]()
