YA
Sixteen-year-old Maggie is overweight, but she's no "shrinking violet fat girl." When her gay best friend Nash invites Tom into their inner circle, Maggie hopes Tom might be the guy for Nash. Tom instead turns his attention toward Maggie; their maybe-romance threatens Maggie and Nash's friendship. Maggie's likable voice and authentic struggle to accept herself lend this fresh romantic comedy considerable appeal.
