This is a second copy I was able to pick up - am considering starting a book ring or ray with this one.

From Barnes and Noble Site:
"FROM THE PUBLISHER
In this extraordinary coming-of-age odyssey, Wally Lamb invites us to hitch a wild ride on a journey of love, pain, and renewal with the most heartbreakingly comical heroine to come along in years.
Meet Dolores Price. She's 13, wise-mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood goodbye. Stranded in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with the Mallomars, potato chips, and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally orbits into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before she really goes under."

I did enjoy this book...was very pleased with the strength at the ending.

Have decided to mail this book to another bookcrosser - Rhonder in Canada. This title was on her wish-list and it's always nice to get those! Keep dancing and enjoy.

Received as a RABCK and I'm so excited! Thank you so much ... I look forward to reading this book!

I now have 2 copies of this book so I'm forwarding this one to Kauline who also had it on her wishlist!
