YA
Overweight Hayley feels out of place in body-conscious Santa Monica, California; a super-healthy mom and a gorgeous best friend don't help. She's thrilled when she gets to go to Italy for a summer, knowing the trip will change her life--which it does, of course. Hayley's a relatable, flawed teenager whose wry narration mostly makes up for the cheesy love story.
