It seemed to have a diary point of view to it but there would be times with the narrator wouldn't be explaining everything that was going on, and that is when the real juicy stuff started to happen. It isn't a book that i hope many people can relate to but it to me it was a book that made me want to actually know the girl and be there to help her so she could have someone to talk to other than her one friend. I've read a lot of books and this book would definitely be in my top 10. (  ) mamicita004 | Apr 30, 2008 |  This book is about a girl who have a food problem and doesn't get along wit her family.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743407865, Paperback)A fourteen-year-old trying to find her way in the world, Doreen is as much an outcast at school as she is at home. Marginalized by her peers, misunderstood by her parents, and mourning the loss of her older brother who disappeared when she was just a child, Doreen finds solace in her fierce love of music and in her best friend, Ted. But when her older sister begins dating a bewildering twenty-one-year-old named Matthew, Doreen must confront feelings she never knew she possessed. Forced into adulthood kicking and screaming (not to mention swearing), Doreen ultimately impels her troubled family to forge a new understanding of the world -- and, maybe more surprisingly, of one another. High school is bad enough; it's worse when you have only one friend in the world and a family that just doesn't get it. This breathless coming-of-age novel explores the alienation of adolescence and introduces a bold and shimmering new voice in fiction.
