Virginia Shreves, 15, has a plus-sized inferiority complex and a larger-than-average figure, particularly when she compares herself to her smart, attractive, picture-perfect family. But all of that is before a startling phone call about her brother, a rugby star, and an even more horrible accusation against him alters everything. Carolyn Mackler crafts a charmingly direct protagonist who speaks to every adolescent who battles with family expectations and demonstrates that being true to yourself is the most amazing accomplishment with an irreverent sense of humor and unexpected seriousness.
