Author: Jane Green
Genre: British Chick Lit
This is probably one of the first books in the genre that I ever read. The plot is typical of chick lit. Girl loves boy, boy doesn't know girl exists, girl does something drastic usually involving another boy, boy finally notices girl.
Part of the reason I love this book is that the main character is someone I can identify with - she's a fat girl. She seems to be blinded to her good qualities and only sees her weight. She struggles to fix what she perceives to be her problem... only to find out that's not really her problem. The story follows her journey, filled with a few twists and turns, good friends, and falling off the food wagon... ultimately ending where almost all Chick Lit ends... at happily ever after.
If you enjoy the genre - this is probably my favorite by Green (who's written a lot - the old stuff is great... the new stuff seems... to be a reincarnation of earlier works)
