This bittersweet and mordantly funny take on teenage self-awareness and angst, is the story of Anne whose self-worth fluctuates with the success or failure of her weight control regimens. As an adult, Anne looks back on a series of fumbling romances and family dysfunction and judges herself wanting. The reader sees her as a witty and perceptive observer of the human scene. If only we could convince Anne. Recommended!

Naja, das Buch fängt ja ganz viel versprechend an. Leider wiederholt sich dann der Plot über Seiten hinweg, und irgendwann ist dann Schluss. Man hätte auch auf Seite 60 oder so aufhören können.
I started to giggle just reading the contents page so if she keeps this up it's a winner.
Het begon leuk maar werd gaandeweg wat langdradig.
