Life in the fat lane is about a girl who's life is perfect. She was the Homecomming dance queen, her family was perfect, she had the handsome boyfriend, and most importantly, she was thin. She was the most popular girl at school until a desease took over her body. This desease made her gain weight in a short amount of time. No matter how less she would eat and how much she would exercise, she would gain more and more weight. Her little perfect life started falling apart.
Her handsome boyfriend seemed not to be in love with her anymore so she had to do the hardest desicion in her life. Break up with him. Then, there was a family proble. She had to move to another state. Once there, there was a lot of bullying, even more than in her other school. But then she found some friends. She started losing her weight. Could it be that her perfect, normal life was falling back together? Find out by reading "Life in the fat lane".

I recommend this book to girls especially. They would understand better in her point of view how hard it is to be peeked on by the weight. They would understand that almost every girl would rather be thin than fat. Besides, this is a sad book and very emotional and boys probably would'nt understand it. Also, it's a very easy book and very easy to earn some AR points!
