Fat Girls Unite
Virginia is a lot like me. We're both fat, sexually frustrated, face hardship socially, and don't get along well with our families.
Big difference; Virginia is rich. I'm not.
Otherwise, this book really helped me overcome my weight problem. It made me believe that even fat girls can be beautiful, fun, and loved by others.
Though this hasn't neccessarily happened to me yet, I'm still hoping.

Matureity level is something to consider
This book was great. i think the book could be read by 11+ only if they are mature enough to read it i read it at that age and thought the book was great

READ IT. NOW!
I love this book so much! Although it does have some cursing, teens are used to cursing. And the sexual refrences are because of her low self esteem, which she ends up breaking out of by the end of the book. Great message for teen girls. Some parts had me crying, because this book is SO relatable.

Ask parents first
this is a really funny and believable book, but there is a bit of language and other stuff. only one tiny scene with alcohol though! It's got a good message, and Virginia rebels by getting her eyebrow pierced and dying her hair because she needs to be independent of her parents. P.S. whoever said there was a "Fat Teen Code of Writing"? THAT'S just MEAN!!!!! there isn't you prejudiced person!! (this is a comment on the Common Sense review, by the way)
