High school is supposed to be the best years of your life…Especially when it comes down to being in the wealthy, gorgeous, popular crowd. What else is there to ask for? When you’re perfect, you got everything. Not a problem in the world. right?In Life in the Fat Lane, by Cherie Bennett, Lara Adeche thought the same thing. Her life was an ensemble of perfection. A crowned homecoming queen in her junior year, she had a happy family, a gorgeous boyfriend, a chubby best friend, and a beautiful complexion with a body to go with it. She was the girl everyone wanted to be…was.
Until her life takes a nasty turn when a disease causes her to gain weight uncontrollably. Emotions arise while she figures out who are her true friends, and that life at home, and with her boyfriend, aren’t so perfect. Will this be the end of the perfect, popular Lara?
Bennett writes incurably with passion and understanding about girl’s issues’ with weight. She takes real life problems and real life feelings and inner wraps them to make a real life point. As reading the novel, I sense the hurt, pain, desire, and emotional battle of weight gain. This book is a five star novel to any girl, skinny or fat, who wants to know the two sides to the battle of weight gain.
