Ever Davies is dangerously overweight, and gets talked to by the voice in her head she names Skinny. Skinny encourages and tells her negative thoughts until finally Ever decides to change her lifestyle by getting gastric surgery to lose weight and make her stomach smaller.
As she loses weight effectively, her best friend Rat is always by her side and champion ing her efforts of even getting into some exercise and finally following her dream of taking drama class.
As she loses weight, she gains friends and her thoughts about food change as does her feelings of severe loss at the death of her mother.
As a typical teen weight topic tackling book, it was new to the category in what it mentions. I've never come across a teen fiction tackling the subject of obesity and gastric surgery until this one and it was a new subject altogether. It was honest in how girls can view their body and feel out of control and needing to gain control and following Ever as she becomes more confident in herself we see great character growth. It was a great honest look into eating disorders and their triggers.
