This was an OK read, but I had to push myself to finish reading it(NOT because of content issues, but because it wasn't to exciting). I thought it was going to better. It started of really slow and didn't pick up much. Veronica's character seemed stuck up throughout most of the book. It was also predictable at times, but had a good ending.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Vee's experience as a plus-sized actress. What do you think about Hollywood's expectations of women actors -- and how do their skinny bodies impact the rest of us? What could we do to combat these unrealistic expectations? Vee walks out of one audition because she thinks the fat girl role is demeaning. Would you have had the nerve to do the same?
