Checked it out from the library, but couldn’t get into it. I read The Fat Girl by Marilyn Sachs that I really liked. It’s about this guy who develops a sort of hatred toward this girl in his high school ceramics class…all because she’s overweight. This girl also has a crush on him…is always staring at him…and this aggravates the guy even more. Well one thing leads to another and he finds himself developing a crush on her (which is basically her dream come true)…but then turns into a nightmare…because it’s one very manipulative relationship. The guy, of course, has his own personal issues with his family. I love reading teen/young adult books and though this book (which I read only a few months ago) was not an award winner…I enjoyed it.

^ That sounds so depressing and sad ![]()
Why didnt u like “Staying fat for sarah byrnes”? I admit its a bit slow in the beginning…but towards the middle it does pick up. There’s one passage that had me bawling on the bus ride home…just b/c it was so horrific and sad. ![]()
I think that was it.

I finished reading “A thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini and would recommend it to anyone. It’s a tale of two women and their lives during the turmoil in Afghanistan.

What do you think of it? Darlymple is very talented and makes for an easy read. I love the book.
im currently reading The Toss Of A Lemon by Padma Viswanathan. its set in the late 19th century and spans the life of a young widowed mother in india. its pretty good and the characters are really engaging.
i absolutely love this book , read about three years ago but still one of the best in my list. everybody should read it.
