Here are the numbers of Ann Galardi’s life:
She is 16.
And a size 17.
Her perfect mother is a size 6.
Her Aunt Jackie is getting married in 10 weeks, and wants Ann to be her bridesmaid.
So Ann makes up her mind: Time to lose 45 pounds (more or less) in 2 1/2 months.
Welcome to the world of informercial diet plans, wedding dance lessons, embarrassing run-ins with the cutest guy Ann’s ever seen—-and some surprises about her NOT-so-perfect mother.
And there’s one more thing. It’s all about feeling comfortable in your own skin-—no matter how you add it up!
45 Pounds (More or Less) sounds SO different that your typical young adult novel!! One of the things I absolutely love is the cover of the book, and the synopsis sounds hilarious! I'm definitely in need of a chill, funny contemporary novel! What do you guys think? - Farah
Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that showcases upcoming releases that we are excited about.
Cute cover, and it sounds like it will great. Nice pick.

I've been dying to read this. I just requested it on NetGalley, but I'll probably get denied. I get denied for the ones I want the most. Bummer.
