Summary
"<i>"You're fat,"</i> Nick Fisher said, and the whole entire hallway fell silent. And then he said it again. <i>"You're fat. And everyone thinks it."</i> Something like that happens to you -- something like what happened to me in fourth grade -- and it never leaves your head. It's in there. Forever. Permanently. And it's not long before you don't even need the Nick Fishers of the world to be there to tell you what they think of you -- you become your own bully. And you do the job better than anyone else possibly could. Can anyone ever love themselves -- warts, roundness, and all? Can anyone ever accept that they will always be a work in progress? Can Will Chambers?" --Book jacket
