Sugar de Deirdre Riordan Hall
Didn't care for it. Although I was able to connect with the main character the way it was written, I found the story too predictable and nothing was original in its form. A fast read.
I think this book does a good job of helping people who can't understand why overweight people are overweight make the connections, not that everyone has the same story as this teen. I enjoyed the storyline also.

I loved the writing. In many uncomfortable ways I related to the main character, and this transported me back to my old town and into the skin of the teenage girl I was, the one that sometimes still lingers. I cried and laughed with these characters, and I felt attached to them, wanting them to succeed...and even fail. That is the most you can hope for in a story, for it to grip you tight and not let you go. Aside with some minor issues with how things often progressed in a one drab note sort of way, overall the author did a tremendous job of revealing insecurities, issues, stagnation, change and confidences without soley attributing it to another person or just a set of circumstances. Often books like these want a catalyst for change to be love, and the bridge to be burned all thier worries wrapped up neatly. Sugar is raw, its messy, its complex, and the character was a work in progress that found it in herself to progress at her own pace. I appreciate that, and it made this story a breath of fresh air. I think I found a new favorite.… (més)

This book started out having me wondering if I wanted to really read it but it was worth reading. This is a book that is about Adverse Childhood Experiences. Sugar is a young woman, abused by her mother, brother, and all the kids at school. A great coming of age story of resiliency. Audio is well done.
