To Jennifer Thompson, her body and her soul have always been two distinctly separate things--there's Jen, the girl she's been since childhood, the dork obsessed with 90s sitcoms and comic books and Christmas jumpers. Then there's Jennifer--the 304-pound monster, tall, heavy and daunting. Too big to feel pretty, too dark to feel accepted, Jen is surprised to strike a secret friendship with Brandon Rogers, star quarterback and boyfriend of her light, thin and perfect cousin Faith. But when she begins to intrude on the carefully-constructed world of Richmond High's social elite, things start to spiral.....
Join Jennifer as she charts the path of accepting her body and colour, and avoiding the mistakes so many women have made before her, including her own mother.

"This is so such a good book. But why did you call her Jennifer? Is it because you think I'm fat??" - my friend, Jennifer.All Rights Reserved
