About
In the waning days of 1998, Tessa Elizabeth Alexander yearns for more than the safety of her mundane life. She's been fat since she was a little girl and has grown up knowing how the world views her. She's always craved thinness - who hasn't - but she also craves love and affection, two things she's gotten very little of in her nearly 23 years. It's hard not to think the two are related, that thinness is required if she's ever going to find her person.
Determined to "be bold" for once in her life, Tessa embarks on a journey of self-exploration. Writing about her adventures in sexual experimentation, love, therapy, and friendship, Tessa finds herself immersed in a world of colorful characters who challenge many of her preconceived notions, including the ones she holds about herself. Can Tessa learn that acceptance is possible without shrinking herself? Will she find someone who loves her exactly as she is?
