My escape from the world, in words.

I am not hating on fat people, just saying the problems they have to face because some stupid people. ---------

Janet is an overweight adult. She's always been on the... Well let's say chubby side. She doesn't have friends and only a few years ago her parents died of a terrorist attack. Now she's all alone living in the big world. But what if one guy who recently moved into her apartment building can change her life's story? What if that one guy can change her? What if that one guy can influence her to changes hundreds?

Fat. Wait, no. Fatter. I distinctly remember when I admitted it to myself, the first time I willingly stepped onto the weighing scale in my bathroom. Sure. I saw it coming. All the secret stashes of M&M's. Hershey's. Mars Bars. I suppose I'd known from the start of the summer that chocolate was the devil... When Aimee gains weight over the summer, she becomes a whole new person. Her mother doesn't exactly help the situation by acting cold and distant, the mysterious boy named James is acting odd, and her childhood friend is going out with her best friend, Vic. When a slot for a column in the school newsletter opens, she grabs the slot and vents her fat, little heart out. Under the alias 'Ex.L', she grabs the attention of the whole school and later, the nation. The catch? The paper is selling out, media is everywhere, and everyone wants to know who 'Ex.L' is. Will she remain undiscovered and find love along the way?
