How I Got Skinny, Famous, and Fell Madly in Love by Ken Baker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved this book! I laughed all the way through it, something I very much enjoy in a book.
Emery is a 16, overweight girl in a family of “beautiful people”. The family seems to be coming apart, the dad always gone, when Emery stumbles on the fact that their house is about to be foreclosed on. Because she wants to help her family, she agrees to do a reality show where she will lose 50 lbs in 50 days.
The journey through the days with Emery is up and down. She finds she’s famous, she finds betrayal, and after almost succumbing to what society thinks she should be, she finds that she can still be herself which is the most important thing.
Emery is a smart, sassy girl. I highly recommend this book! 🙂
