" Skinny is like a Cinderella story (or thats the way the main character, Ever, originally sees it as). She is a 15 year old high school freshman in Texas who weighs over 300 pounds. She got this way after her mother's death, when all of her best memories of her got tied to food, and she began to find solace in the many things that she ate. Now, however, she is constantly aware of how her peers must see her, and she has this voice in her head - which she names Skinny - who reminds her how ridiculous she is and how everyone either hates or pities her. In an effort to win back the attention of her childhood sweetheart, she undergoes gastric bypass surgery, and begins to drastically lose weight. She then is able to mingle with with everyone in schools, make new friends, and get asked out by the boy she liked so much. However, she realizes that she is actually in love with another one of her friends - who had never abandoned her when she had gained weight. She also realizes how much she had been blinded by Skinny's voice, and sees that no one had ever abandoned her - if she was alone for so long, it was mainly because her insecurity had made her suspicious of everyone, and therefore wary of their company. This story goes into many different themes, and is a lot more than the story of an overweight girl who loses weight, or who overcomes her bullies. This is more about readjusting to the change, and coming to realize that those who you think are your enemies really aren't that bad. "
