The Earth, My Butt, and Other BIG Round Things

[Amethyst Heaven]

The Earth, My Butt, and Other BIG Round Things by Carolyn Mackler is about a girl who basically thinks she was born into the wrong family and figures out how to overcome it. Has anyone else read it? What did you think?

The discription on the back of the book is:
"Virginia Shreves has a larger-than-average body and a plus-size inferiority complex. She lives on the web, snarfs junk food, and obeys the "Fat Girl Code of Conduct." Then there are the other Shreveses: Mom is an exercise fiend and a successful adolescent psychologist; Dad, when not jet-setting, or golfing in Connecticut, ogles skinny women on TV; and older siblings Byron and Anais are slim, brilliant and impossible to live up to.

Delete Virginia, and the Shreveses are a picture-perfect family....until a phone call changes everything."

It is insanely good, I love it and highly recommend you read it. Vegan Virgin Valentine is also by Carolyn Mackler and also highly recommended.

Lol seems like yet another teen novel written by an adult that's quite inaccurate about how teenagers live. But I'll check it out when I'm bored and have nothing else to do *shrug*

Sure. That's probably why it's interesting to read.

Actually, I hate most books like that, lulz.
