HUGE- Sasha Paley

HUGE- Welcome to Fat Camp-
I picked this book up for the grand sum of 50p in a charity shop, quick read but I one I really enjoyed.
Basic Plot:
two girls- both larger in size- one rich, one poor- one saves to go to a camp for weightloss, other is forced to attend by parents who own a chain of gyms- both have to share rooms over the summer.
When written like this the plot sounds like a chick-flick movie in which both characters end up best friends at the end and skip off into the horizon, however contrary to this the girls journey through a quick paced and empowering summer tackling issues and challenging one another over typical problems every teen faces; weight loss, friendships, popularity, jerks, challenging parents, boyfriends....
Sasha Paley writes really well in this classic teen flick; one that if you get the chance to read- probably wont change your life- but certainly wont harm you!
