Is it possible to start afresh when you're thoroughly weighted down? A "timeless
and entirely of-the-moment" (Publishers Weekly) novel from the author of The Se
cret Language of Girls.



Seventeen pounds. That's the difference between Abiga
il Walker and Kristen Gorzca. Between chubby and slim, between teased and taunti
ng. Abby is fine with her body and sick of seventeen pounds making her miserable
, so she speaks out against Kristen and her groupies-and becomes officially unpo
pular. Embracing her new status, Abby heads to an abandoned lot across the stree
t and crosses an unfamiliar stream that leads her to a boy who's as different as
they come.
