(3) YA At 302 pounds, fifteen-year-old Ever is teased or ignored by her classmates and taunted by an inner voice telling her she's ugly and unloved. After she undergoes gastric bypass surgery and starts losing weight, Ever begins to see others--and herself--in a more positive light. This is an honest and engrossing portrait of an exceptionally difficult journey toward self-acceptance.
Reviewer: Rachel L. Smith
