by Suzanne Supplee
I enjoyed this book. Suzanne Supplee has been able to get to the heart of a sensitive issue (teenage obesity) without condescension. Rosemary is obese. She thinks she has only one friend, but when the going gets tough, others surface. They may not be the same age as she is - but they are important. At a critical time, she realises that her life has to change. Her initial weight-loss may not be via recommended methods but.... she finally reaches a sensible weight. But is her weight really the issue? What about feelings of self-worth?
