45 Pounds (More of Less) by Kelly Barson
Laugh-out loud with this debut from author, Kelly Barson, who explores the one thing that plagues us all, weight.
Have you ever been in a dressing room and your dress won’t fit and you have to go up a size or two? Do you look in the mirror and see someone who is bigger than she really is? Ann Galardi, the main character, is only sixteen and a size 17. Her mother is a size 6 and doesn’t understand. What’s more her Aunt Jackie is getting married in 2 months and wants Ann to be a bridesmaid. Ann decides she will lose that weight and along the way realizes that you don’t have to be stick-thin to get the guy. It’s all about being comfortable in your own skin and being yourself.
