Book Description:
Beauty pageant winner, homecoming queen--Lara has the world at her feet. Until she gets fat.
Despite a strict diet and workout schedule, Lara is soon a nameless, faceless, 200-pound-plus teenage blimp. She's desperate to get her to-die-for body back--and to find an explanation for her rapid weight gain.
When she's diagnosed with a mysterious metabolic disorder that has no known cure, Lara fears she'll spend the rest of her life trapped in a fat suit. Who will stand by her? Her image-conscious family? Her shallow friends? Her handsome boyfriend? Or will she be left alone in the land of the fat girls?

Story about a girl whos overweight, but overcomes it... learns to like people based on personality, not size... good book, fun to read
Nicole S. (Bennett has a good style. It's a quick read, and it'll give you a fair share of perspective! Makes you think about yourself and maybe some prejudices you didn't realize you had.
Back Of Book-
Lara Ardeche, a voice in my head said to me, you are not a quitter. You can change this. And you don't need anyone's help. All you have to do is stop eating. Totally. No matter how hungry you get,or how bad that is, it can't be as bad as this is. Yes. That was what I would do. I'd stop eating. One of two things would happen. I would get thing again. Or I would die. Eithier way, I would win.
