I have this bad habit. Whenever I read a good book from a particular author, I am not satisfied. After all, how much can you gauge on an author's writing style just by reading one book? So I often rush to the bookstore to get a second title. Just for variety's sake. This second book, was no disappointment. Which of us hasn't had the secret binge? The secret habit? Or any secret at all. Another emotionally-intense book. Get ready with those tissues.

Synopsis on backcover: Meet Dolores Price. She's thirteen, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood good-bye. Stranded in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally orbits into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before she really goes under.Highlights:
