Meghan Ball is the fat girl nobody notices. She's hyper-aware, a keen observer of her classmates. Too-skinny Aimee Zorn is a talented poet who's seriously anorexic. After learning that Meghan's ex-friend plagiarized one of Aimee's poems, the two plan the girl's comeuppance. George's writing is sharp and insightful, and her treatment of eating disorders never devolves into sermonizing or stereotypes.
