Sixteen-year-old Rosie has always been overweight. Finally, after enduring years of consistent pestering from her nosy aunt and ridicule from her classmates, she resolves to lose the weight. It is not easy for her to stop her indulgences -- food was always there for her when her mother was not. But as Rosie sticks to her diet and exercise regime, she discovers a lot about herself, her mother, and their relationship. She also manages to find a true best friend, a boyfriend, and the guts to stand up to the "Bluebirds" -- the clique of girls who have made fun of her since third grade.
Rosie's character is honest and funny. Readers can easily relate to Rosie's insecurities, including the struggle with her body image and the relationship between her and her mother.
