Having been a beauty queen with a "to-die-for" body, Lara's perplexed when her weight starts to balloon upwards. At first she blames it on her allergy medication, but finds that's not the reason. Dieting and exercise do nothing and she continues to gain. As her weight heads over 200 pounds, Lara begins to see life from the "fat side" as her social standing changes drastically. Old friends ostracize her, her parents' marriage fails and Lara earns the new nickname "lard-ass" in this chilling book about a teen's biggest nightmare.
