What it is about...
Ever Davies is in high school, she weighs 300 pounds. Deciding to have gastric bypass surgery we witness her transformation from an ugly duckling to a swan. All the teenagers in the book carry with them deep rooted problems. Ever does not recognize those issues, only her own and the reader is aware of those issues through a character named Skinny.What I thought...
Spot on about the issue of obesity among teens. Experiencing the interior monologues that go through Ever's thoughts really creates insight into the mind of addiction. The book does not glamorize gastric by pass but presents the nitty gritty of the surgery. The book tackles bigger issues about self esteem and the self doubt that all teens experience. I would recommend this book because of the pace and the honesty the author brings to the issues of teenagers.
