This book reminded me of Enthusiasm- cute, happy, light, & relaxing to read. I also appreciated that this was a fat girl story that didn't make everything in life perfect when the main character loses some weight. I actually was really impressed by how thoughtfully several issues were handled in this book- the fat girl neuroses, the best friend betrayal, and the mom who doesn't understand why her daughter isn't thrilled to still be in the running to be America's next Miss Husky Peach. I am now a Celeste fan and might even be inspired enough to launch my own "Operation Skinny Celeste" sometime soon.
