I got Huge because I read the synopsis and thought it might be interesting. I did know that it was a TV show, but I hadn't seen it so I wasn't to bothered by it. The back of the book reads 'Two roomates. Two goals. One big problem.' And that is indeed a bright summary.

April is a middle-class girl who funded her won trip to Wellness Cnayon (the fat camp) and is uber-excited to be there. She is really motivated to lose weight, for herself. She wants nothing more than to feel pretty.

Wil is only at the camp because her wealthy healthy parents are forcing her to go. And to spite them, she plans on gaining weight.

These two girls are paired (purposely) as roomates, and before the first day has gotten into full swing, they realize just how different they are. Of course, they dislike each other immensely. But it is made clear that if you do not do well with your rooommate, you do not fare well at the camp.

This book is funny and emotional, you move through the days at the camp through both the girls' eyes. Hating who they hate, and learning to love them and their quirks. This is a really good read.
