YA
Fat Angie's mother ignores her, her classmates bully her, and her beloved sister is presumed dead in Iraq. So Angie is surprised when beautiful new girl KC Romance treats her like an equal and a friend--even a love interest. Charlton-Trujillo's choppy third-person narration is unique but distancing, allowing readers to observe Angie's traumas and successes but not fully experience them.
