Jamie is a senior in high school, and that means she's incredibly busy with school, extracurriculars, and - oh yeah - trying to change how the world looks at fat people. Jamie's sick of people thinking that she doesn't know she's fat, that she's ashamed of her size, and that she can't get a date. Nothing could be further from the truth! She decides to challenge her fellow students with a new column in the school newsletter, starring Fat Girl (that's Jamie) and her Big Fat Manifesto.
As her column raises all kinds of questions, so too, must she find her own private way in her world, with love popping up in unexpected places, and satisfaction in her size losing ground to real frustration. A great read that will challenge your preconceptions.
