This is an absolutely fabulous read!! So very touching (painfully at times!), Fat Angie has the kind of heart, soul and kick-ass attitude of the shows it pays homage to throughout the book, Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Freaks and Geeks.
I picked it out purely based on the title, but soon found it spoke to me in much more important ways. Anyone who has ever wanted to prove she is more than just what people think they know about her will hold Fat Angie close to her heart. And anyone who is a sucker for a sweet love story that proves there is someone out there who can look past appearances will find themselves falling in love with the characters.
Angie ("Fat Angie" to her tormentors and her mom) never gives up hope on the things that matter to her even when everything is beating her down. KC Romance (yep, that's her name) is a kindred spirit even if she looks more like she'd fit in with the popular girls. They both fight their own self-destructive spirits to emerge better for having met each other.
I hated finishing Fat Angie. Even after I waited the proper "this is waaay too good to start a new book right away" amount of time, I still found my next to be read title to pale in comparison.

The book Fat Ange can relate to others in some many different ways. She was a young girl in high school that was bullied for her size, what every she thought she did it just wasn't enough for other people. Even her own mother.Her older was in the military and was captured in Iraq. Last year fat Angie tried to kill herself infant of the whole school she was made even more fun of that. Who would ever make fun of a girl that tried to take her own life infant of you? Then a whole school year later Angie comes across a friend, that did not care about what had happened in the passed, didn't see her as the school laughing stock but as a real person Angie had't felt like that in a long while. Her very own mother didn't see her poor daughter beginning for her instead of diet plans. I feel that E.E. Charlton-Trujillo did an amazing job explaining the way that Angie feel's in her own body and how she feel's about other talking about her staring at her whispering down the hall. The way that the author is able to incorporate Angie's feelings about how she feel's about herself and how she thinks about others looking at her. This books is able to get a story of how high school can be for some children that don't deserve what happened to them. If you think about it most movies teen movies are about someone being bullied the directors focus on the mean girls or boys not on what the child being bullied feels. The author of Fat Angie incorporates all of that very well. So that everyone can enjoy the book at any age.
