Does This Book Make Me Look Fat?
Anothology. These authors and artists have contributed to it: Ellen Hopkins. Sara Zarr. Sarra Manning. Barry Luga. Jeff Dillon. Daniel Pinkwater.
Megan McCafferty. Eireann Corrigan. Matt de la Pena. Wendy McClure. Margo Rabb. Jaclyn Moriarty. Carolyn Mackler. Coe Booth. Wendy Shanker. Lauren R
Weinstein.
At first when i bought this i immediately thought my favorite story out of all of them would be by Megan McCafferty. I was wrong. My next order of
favorites i thought would go in this order: Zarr. Manning. and then Hopkins.
Sarra Mannings story ended up being my favorite story, and since i had already thought i'd love her story i wasn't surprised. What i AM surprised
about is that Ellen Hopkins story was a major disappointment to me. I'm not saying it was my least favorite one, but it was definitely down there.
I went into her story(i went into this book) hoping to come out with a better view of my body and myself. Her story left me feeling empty and ugly and
so did the book.
So has anyone else read this? Anyone else coming out feeling as unpretty as before?

You'll have to let me know what you think if you do. I don't remember much about this book, except like i said before, it made me have an even worse
self-image.

Wow. I think I'll read it anyways because it does sound interesting. The one story that left you feeling ugly... that sucks. You are beautiful!
