13 ways of looking at the fat girl

13 ways of looking at the fat girl / Mona Awad 214 pgs.

Lizzie's a fat teen whose only goal seems to be to lose weight.  She starts a long distance relationship with Tom and becomes more serious about losing weight.  This book is 13 chapters about Lizzie, Liz, Elizabeth (her preferred name changes often) and her relationship with her body, her parents, the man in her life.  The cover blurb says "This book sparkles with wit..." and there are some fun parts.  But in general, I think it is just kind of depressing and seems all too real.
