YA
Vivacious, plus-sized Angel Cookson Potts relishes the company of her petite, gorgeous gal pals, endures her eccentric family, and dreams of being a "foodie." Her intensely readable, Brit-inflected first-person voice (interrupted by caricatures and chatty recipes) bears readers along with Angel as she deals (healthily) with her size and becomes the hit of the fashion show at the end of the book.
