Virginia is an overweight sixteen year-old in a skinny, perfect family. Her best friend has moved to Walla Walla and she is having trouble fitting in. She has written the Fat Girls’ Code of Conduct and it reads like a bad low self-esteem playbook. Stuff I see all the time in my job.
Carolyn Mackler has created a very believable young adult novel, where Virginia struggles with her weight, fitting in and coping with a family that thinks she should just lose a few pounds.
