(3) YA Not for the prudish reader, this is the first-person, present-tense story of lonely, overweight Robin. Part wide-eyed innocent, part peeping Tom, part "horny slut," the fifteen-year-old is surrounded by beautiful people--including her parents--behaving badly, and for a time she joins their "parallel universe." Often hilarious, this poignant tale graphically depicts a teenager's stormy coming of age.
