Ari Alexander is 18 and has just graduated. She's always felt... less. And by less, she is MORE. She's always been bigger than every girl she knows. While she's not morbidly obese, she sure as hell isn't tiny either. But her luck, and confidence, might be changing for the better when she gets offered a job as a plus size model by the president of a modeling company, Ms. Avery. Every girl wants to find romance, but along with that, she wants to find herself. But with certain distractions running alongside her as she makes this journey (for example, gorgeous male models and a deranged stalker or two), it's proving difficult. This story will be romantic, funny, and just plain ridiculous at times. There'll be many surprising twists, and tons of odd adventure. Ari is not your typical model. As much as she starts to wish as her fun times become etched with terrifying events, she isn't. Not by a long shot. This story is now complete. :) AND YA I KNOW BRAZILIANS SPEAK PORTUGUESE NOW
