Winner of a 2014 Stonewall Book Award! Her sister was captured in Iraq, she's the resident laughingstock at school, and her therapist tells her to count instead of eat. Can a daring new girl in her life really change anything? Angie is brokenâ??by her can't-be-bothered mother, by her high-school tormenters, and by being the only one who thinks her varsity-athlete-turned-war-hero sister is still alive. Hiding under a mountain of junk food hasn't kept the pain (or the shouts of "crazy mad cow!") away. Having failed to kill herselfâ??in front of a gym full of kidsâ??she's back at high school just trying to make it through each day. That is, until the arrival of KC Romance, the kind of girl who doesn't exist in Dryfalls, Ohio. A girl who is one hundred and ninety-nine percent wow! A girl who never sees her as Fat Angie, and who knows too well that the package doesn't always match what's inside. With an offbeat sensibility, mean girls to rival a horror classic, and characters both outrageous and touching, this darkly comic anti-romantic romance will appeal to anyone who likes entertaining and meaningful fict… (más)

This is another YA novel I received free from audibooksync.com. It takes a fairly realistic dive into many of the most difficult issues a teenager could face--parent's divorcing, favorite sister joining the war effort-going missing and presumed dead, picked on for being overweight, parental disapproval, no self-esteem, and nearly friendless. So in her shoes, who wouldn't latch onto the first lifeboat that comes along--a pretty, unique, new girl from California who isn't just kind, but seems genuinely interested in being friends--but the new girl has her own baggage, and represents even more life altering decisions.

FROM AMAZON: Angie is the only one in her family - maybe the only one in the world - who believes her captured war-hero sister is still alive. Angie needs to believe it. It’s better than thinking about last year, when she tried to kill herself in front of a packed gym. Better than trying to steer clear of Stacy Ann Sloan and her posse of ultra-mean girls. Better than dealing with her corporate-lawyer mother, who wants to know only one thing: When is Angie going to lose exactly 29 pounds?

Then a new girl, KC, arrives in Dryfalls, Ohio. She’s beautiful, hip, and smart, and everyone wants to know her. From the minute they meet, KC sees the real Angie, not the fat girl hiding from her pain under a mountain of junk food. She sees Angie for who she really is: someone who just might shake things up - on the basketball court and in KC’s life. Outrageous and touching, this darkly comic, anti-romantic romance brings us unforgettable characters on the edge.

I didn't much care for the writing of this YA novel (too YA in style for me) but the plot was interesting. The mother Connie made my blood boil as in my opinion she was emotionally abusing her daughter rather than just being neglectful. ( )

A YA book that covers the gamut: fat-shaming, bullying, gay-bashing, attempted suicide (not on-screen), cutting, binging & purging. It also had the requisite YA-missing/horrible-parent.

I know that first paragraph sounds like I didn't like this book, but I did (obviously, as I gave it four stars). It's not necessarily an easy book; it's hard to read about a girl being bullied all the time. And there were times when I really just wanted to take Angie away from her horrible mother and take care of her myself. But, as happens in a good YA novel, truths are learned, and people find out a little bit about themselves. And what more can we really ask for? ( )
