Angie was being called "Fat Angie", she was being called a "freak". She was been bullied by the famous-perfect- mean girl, Stacy Ann at her high school. However, the worst thing that pins deeply into Angie's heart was that her supportive sister was missing. Until, when everything seems to collapse, a new girl, KC Romance, came to join her class. She was new, beautiful, and smart, but most importantly, "kind". Opposite like Stacy Ann. She is the only one that sees Angie for who she really is, someone who believes that her sister is still alive, and never quit from being her self. From reading this book, I really felt sorry for the poor luck of Angie, but one the other hand, she admired me to never give up for your hope, and never quit for what you truly want!

Her sister was captured in Iraq, she’s the resident laughingstock at school, and her therapist tells her to count instead of eat. Can a daring new girl in her life really change anything?
Angie is broken — by her can’t-be-bothered mother, by her high-school tormenters, and by being the only one who thinks her varsity-athlete-turned-war-hero sister is still alive. Hiding under a mountain of junk food hasn’t kept the pain (or the shouts of "crazy mad cow!") away. Having failed to kill herself — in front of a gym full of kids — she’s back at high school just trying to make it through each day. That is, until the arrival of KC Romance, the kind of girl who doesn’t exist in Dryfalls, Ohio. A girl who is one hundred and ninety-nine percent wow! A girl who never sees her as Fat Angie, and who knows too well that the package doesn’t always match what’s inside. With an offbeat sensibility, mean girls to rival a horror classic, and characters both outrageous and touching, this darkly comic anti-romantic romance will appeal to anyone who likes entertaining and meaningful fiction.
