This was an amazing take on body image! I loved how it wasn't "Go on a diet, NO junk food" and it wasn't "Exercise, exercise, EXERCISE!", it was a well rounded view on a healthy lifestyle, with a healthy relationship, healthy eating and exercise, and healthy takes on things like stress. It's also a great book to show that teens WILL be seen as more then that funny gal when they're ready, and that being thin won't change that. I loved how Hayley was such a different person after Italy, I couldn't put it down because it was a such a great read, with such great characters and role models, plus with great views on being healthy, even if you're not a blonde, size 2 supermodel.

I read this book and I LIVE IT!! Best book in the WHOLE WORLD!!! Plus im only 11 yrs old!!!

It was ok.

I really Loved this book. It really helped me think about my body, not judging my self as being just fat. As me being myself and not thinking that i am. A lot of my family members always tell me im beautiful and i just say thanks and in my head im like ew. But this book is a wonderful and i wouldn't mind reading more.

It's a great book to read if your child is mature =) i am turning 12 in October 31, 1998 and i already know about these situations so i am appropriate to read this...also, i am in 7th grade..
