Review #1
* * * * * Stars (Amazing!)
This story is hilarious. It’s about a 15 year old girl named Virginia Shreves. She thinks that she’s a low-life, fat, uncool girl. This is a hilarious book that all teens should read.

* * * * Stars (Great!)
This book is about Virginia Shreves, a teenage girl in high school who feels isolated because of her weight. Throughout the book she learns to say no and not let people walk all over her – especially after her brother is suspended from college for date rape. With the help of some new (and old) friends, teachers, classmates, and family, she learns to accept herself.

I loved this book! Every girl should read this in her life. It’s about this girl who is fat and out of place at her school. So to find her inner self, she goes through a phase. I think this author is one of the best I have ever read. She is one of my favorite authors now. Every girl should read this in her life.
