YA
Overweight, socially ostracized teen Dell is already reeling from the erosion of all her support systems (broken family, distant friends, etc.) when she's raped by her former crush; she moves from food to pills to dull the pain. Compassionate and wrenching, this hard-hitting problem novel contains few surprises but evokes Dell's rage, grief, and ultimate suicidal despair with breathtaking intensity.
