"Virginia Shreves is an overweight sophomore in high school struggling to live up to her parents' expectations of her. Her older siblings are perfect, while she lives by the Fat Girl Code of Conduct, and only fools around with Froggy the Fourth even though she might want something more. But everything she thought she knew about her family and herself gets turned upside down when she finds out that her brother is coming home because he was suspended after date-raping a girl at college."
Ashareh, Resident Scholar
