This book would make a great summer vacation read. Victoria is a smart, thoughtful girl unlike anyone in her family, and has always felt different. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, but finds her home away from home in New York City. Her quest to find herself means she has to overcome all the negative messages she's been given about her weight, her looks, and her self-image from both of her parents. Her entire life from a very young age to adulthood is fraught with subtle and not-so-subtle comments about being a "big girl". This book will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they lived a life on the diet roller coaster. It's somewhat of a coming-of-age story with a sweet ending. You will find yourself cheering Victoria on to realize just how special she really is.
